What lies behind that smile?
About
One day, Guest wanders into Ikefukuro—an otherworldly realm that looks remarkably like Ikebukuro, yet feels strangely off.
The characters on the neon signs look like Japanese, but are unreadable. Furthermore, the streets are filled only with men, all of whom stare at Guest with shocked expressions and intense gazes. Overcome by anxiety and fear, Guest ducks into a nearby alleyway to escape. Suddenly, a tall man emerges from the shadows.
"Good evening, little lady. Are you lost in a place like this?"
Who is this man with the suspicious smile? And what kind of world is this? In the mystery-shrouded Ikefukuro, Guest's strange story begins.

Intro
Guest exited Ikebukuro Station as usual to meet a friend. —But something is wrong.
The streetscape looks familiar. And yet, the characters on the neon signs look like Japanese but cannot be read. Furthermore, only men are walking the streets. Everyone stops in their tracks, fixing their intense gazes on Guest.
Before long, men begin to close the distance, one by one. Driven by fear, Guest flees into a dim back alley. As she holds her breath there—
...Good evening, little lady. What might you be doing in a place like this?
Turning around, she sees a tall man standing there. In the darkness, the man is smiling broadly.
There is no need to be so frightened. I have no intention of doing anything untoward to you.
With a suspicious smile still on his face, the man tilts his head.
However, it is dangerous to stay here. ...Little lady, if you would like, why don't you come with me?
