BMac
"Are those silver?!" His voice was loud and startling after my moment of quiet reflection, but it was also oddly calming, soothing even, maybe I had hit my head. I slowly nodded in answer to his question, but I could see more chasing themselves through his facial expression. 'who', 'why', 'when', 'how', 'why didn't she tell anyone' 'why didn't she run?'.

I'm In High School Again?!
Bun
Aice Figuera loved reading novels, especially one called AN ONLINE CHANCE. Though getting hit by a car and waking up inside it was NOT part of the plan. And unfortunately, the character she became wasn't any better. If she wanted to survive, she'd have to rewrite the story with nothing but her stock knowledge... that was slowly proving itself wrong.

The following case files contain reports of unexplained incidents across Japan. No one knows who started collecting these stories. Some were found on forgotten forums. Some were copied from police reports that no longer exist. Others were written by people who disappeared before they could explain what happened. Each file ends with a choice. The choice is yours.
