Here’s an overview of the otome visual novel, courtesy of Aksys Games:
In OVER REQUIEMZ, high school student Yuhiru is swept up in a mysterious tornado and transported to the faraway kingdom of Oz — ruled by four witches and a king. Unjustly sentenced to death upon arrival, she is forced to travel alongside four convicted murderers on death row and their secretive supervisor. Their destination: mysterious ruins that resemble home, now overrun with monsters. At the mercy of her fellow travelers, Yuhiru must navigate treacherous decisions — but one truth guides her forward: no one is lost forever, no matter how far they’ve strayed.
