The premise

With his two friends, a video-game-obsessed young man finds himself in a strange version of Tokyo where they must compete in dangerous games to win.

Horror Vault's take

A directionless young man and his closest friends suddenly find themselves stranded in an eerily deserted Tokyo, a mirror-world where the only currency is survival. Deadly games with brutal rules await them at every turn, and failure is never abstract — it is final. Each round peels back another layer of who these characters truly are when everything familiar is stripped away. Equal parts pulse-pounding action and creeping dread, this Japanese manga adaptation keeps viewers guessing about the nature of the world they've fallen into.
