The game is a suspense-filled visual novel told from the perspectives of two protagonists. Seven individuals find themselves trapped in the an underwater theme park called “LeMU.” At the beginning of the game, the player selects either college student Takeshi Kuranari or a boy with amnesia, then progresses through the story from that character’s point of view.
