Overview
On October 4, 1986, there was a mass murder in a house on an isolated island. On that day, a “sacrifice” to the island was arranged.
The island’s name is Rokkenjima. Located in the Izu Islands, it has a total span of about 10 kilometers. The owner of the island is a Kinzo Ushiromiya, a wealthy man with a vast fortune.
Kinzo’s children and their families held a family meeting to determine the division of properties. The others are there for the purpose of working for Ushiromiya. A total of 18 people were gathered.
…and thus, preparations for the feast were complete. The typhoon that then occurs turns the island into a prison in the distant sea, with no means to escape.
This is a closed circle provided for a tragic event. A slaughterhouse where witches toy with poor victims.
The 18 people that gathered here cannot escape. Only lives scattered like flowers tossed about by a storm.
Is reasoning possible or impossible?
Who will get Kinzo’s vast inheritance? Where are the 10 tons of gold that Kinzo is said to have hidden? Can the mystery of the ominous epitaph indicating its location be solved?
How many people will die? How many people will survive? Or will everyone die? Is the culprit among the 18 people or not?
Is the culprit even a “person”? Or is it a “witch”?
If you deny that it is a witch, the mystery becomes difficult to comprehend. But if you acknowledge the witch, it becomes a ruthless fantasy.
If you want reasoning, then so be it. If there is an answer, then have faith and keep on searching. It is OK to resist. And it is OK to give in.
This is an eternal torture that continues until you believe that there is a witch.
Lastly, fans may pre-order the game at Amazon, Rakuten or Yodobashi. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest Japanese gaming news!
