Plot
The game tells the story of several characters who become trapped on Yamijima Island, off the coast of mainland Japan. On August 3, 1976, an underwater cable was cut, and all power to the island was lost. During the subsequent blackout, the entire population of the island disappeared without trace or explanation. Twenty-nine years later, in 2005, a journalist called Mamoru Itsuki is visiting the island to conduct research for an article when the ferry he and a small group of other passengers are on capsizes after it is hit by a red tidal wave. Shortly after this, a group of soldiers from the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force crash land on the island after their helicopter experiences engine trouble. The game is played from the perspective of numerous of these characters, and out of chronological order, as the protagonists attempt to survive the island's "monsters", the shibito (屍人, shibito?, lit. "corpse people") and the yamibito (闇人, yamibito?, lit. "darkness people").

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
“Trade and the streets ensnare us,
Our bodies are weak and worn;
We plot and corrupt each other,
And we despoil the unborn.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
