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").

“Those blessed structures, plot and rhyme—
why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?”
