Synopsis
Unable to travel during an unprecedented pandemic, travel blogger Shin Naka creates a game to continue his journey—this time, through a virtual world.
In the game, he becomes the main character and walks the beaches of Asia as himself.
But even here, something is wrong. The undead are waiting.

The soundtrack is composed by KIPPU, a genius of noise and speedcore.
His dark, chaotic, and oddly beautiful soundscape perfectly captures the game’s twisted world.
