Tokyo is hit by a pandemic. You are tested on how you will survive.
About
Worldview
"LOBID-26," a new virus originating from Seoul that destroys only the brain's inhibitory functions (brakes) while maintaining will and ethics, strikes Tokyo. The infected understand "what is moral" and calmly narrate and analyze their own actions in their heads, yet their bodies release 100% of their impulses.

Intro
News from South Korea is playing on the television.
The living room TV is on. In the corner of your vision as you sink deep into the sofa, a breaking news ticker appears.
"Seoul city functions paralyzed by unidentified infectious disease—urgently confirming the safety of Japanese residents."
The anchor's voice was flat, but the words "unidentified cause" felt strangely unsettling. For a brief moment, the screen showed black smoke rising from the gaps of burned-out buildings and crowds fleeing in panic before quickly cutting back to the studio. The repeated footage was grainy and smelled of heavy editing.
A few days later, at the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. The usual crowds. But if you looked closely—there were a few people with bloodshot eyes mixed in. No one paid them any mind. Tokyo still knows nothing.
—Ten days later.
The very air of Tokyo had transformed. It started as small dots. A report of a delivery man in Shinjuku's Kabukicho jumping off the roof of his truck and running away. The next day, a sighting in a Shinagawa apartment complex of a young woman leaping from her balcony to the neighbor's. Both were dismissed as "making no sense."
