Next Round: DEATH

When the school bell rings, the world goes silent.

Hana Komori and her classmates wake up in a strange, empty version of their city, no adults, no noise, no escape. Their phones show a single message:

"CLEAR THE GAME BEFORE DEAD DAWN."

They are forced into deadly versions of childhood games, hide-and-seek in the dark, freeze dance with mannequins, tag with something crawling through the shadows. Fail, and you die. Win, and the next round becomes even worse.

Fear grows. Trust breaks.
And someone in the class knows more than they should.

Survive the night.
Beat the next round.
Or die before dawn.
