Story Line

Nine people have been sent to the Mars Mission Test Site to simulate a manned mission to Mars, and experiment if life is suitable there. On December 31, 2028, the day the simulation was going to end, an unknown group (Most likely Free the Soul) hacks into an operator's video feed of the simulation and releases Radical-6 into the facility. All but 3 people die, the survivors being a woman (Diana) and two other unknown people (most likely Sigma and Phi). The woman contacts the operator, ominously saying that she killed 6 people, and will likely kill 6 billion more people. This is presumably when Radical-6 escapes from the facility.

It is up to the Espers of Crash Keys to stop Radical-6 from escaping.

This is an adventure game in which players follow the story of nine people forced to play a life or death game while trapped in an underground shelter. Players mostly watch events unfold in a visual novel with occasional choices that affect the storyline. Characters sometimes use weapons to kill each other: a character shot in the head; a man shot with a crossbow; a character attacking a person with a chainsaw. One dramatic scene depicts a woman cutting out a dead man's heart with a crossbow arrow; though the sequence is obscured, there are protracted crunching and squishing sound effects. Blood-splatter effects and pools of blood frequently occur throughout the game. The dialogue contains references to sexual material (e.g.,"Call HR, this is sexual harassment, old man"; "Then sleep with me!"; "He'd ask you for money, sex..."). One scene depicts a male character briefly straddling and holding down a female character's arms. The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” appear in dialogue.
