Plot

With the Satsukiyama Academy shutting down for good, the students of a small town were each heading off to a different direction in life. For Tamaki Minase, who decided to stay in town to find a job, it might be the last time that she gets to see her crush, Yuuma Shindou, who is moving to the nearby city to attend at new school. She asked him to do a little prayer that is supposed to help people meet again, despite being distant. But her classmate, Erina Yuzuki, who overheard their conversation, decided to ruin Tamaki's plans by inviting her entire class to what was supposed to be an intimate spell, out of jealousy

But as soon as the charm went off, the ground split in half, swallowing the entire class. When they woke up, they found themselves in an old school campus. Unable to find a way out, they wandered in the corridors, trying to figure out where they were. But it seemed that the building wasn’t as abandoned as they thought it was. In fact, something evil was lurking in the shadows.
