The game’s official website describes the plot, which takes place over approximately 3.5 hours with 7-8 players:
In the year 20XX, civilization has collapsed under a rampant zombie virus. A man in a white coat appears in a survivor community and announces, “We’ve discovered an antibody that will prevent zombification!”
He is found murdered. Attacks by “zombie believers” are on the rise all over the place. Rumors of a mysterious crazed strangler. Survivors disappear one after another, and a strange singing voice can be heard from underground every night…
The anime will follow six girls solving murder cases that occur in Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, and a special program with the voice cast will be streamed live on September 23.
