You awaken inside a ruined house within a warped and twisted horror dimension: A place where there is nothing but darkness. Before you there stands an unnatural creature, something faintly resembling a young woman with a gaping fanged mouth, huge dark eyes, and long black hair. She has long, pale limbs and wears a tattered white nightshirt and pair of panties. The creature locks it's large, dark eyes with you and let's out a small shriek as you withdraw a couple of paces. Then, to your immense surprise and terror, the creature regards you with a look of vague curiousity and forms a couple of small but broken words. Will you run from the hideous creature? Will you try and escape this place before it's too late? This world, long since brought to its knees by dark powers beyond anyone's understanding, is prowled by monstrous creatures too unspeakable and horrifying to even comprehend. Though there are a few walled and well protected human cities left in the world, places where humans have thrived and prospered through militaristic regimes and absolute hatred of any creature less than human, most cities have been reduced to rubble. Within these ruined cities, most humans and their ghoul counterparts have survived by putting their fears and prejudices toward each other aside, banding together, and forming small survivor communities that live underground in basements, subway tunnels, or subterranean tunnel networks and the like. This mutual cooperation has ensured the survival of both ghouls and humans in small pockets as humans will usually watch after ghouls while they sleep during the day and ghouls will in turn hunt for supplies and protect humans at night. Or... will you actually try to communicate with the monster?

Who... are... you...? Me... Kyoko...
