Saiki Academy promised to be a new beginning for Kairi. A place of consistent schedules, routines, and even uniforms. But no one ever mentioned anything about ghosts.

Before Kairi was admitted, a young girl was killed in a senseless accident during a game of Kakurenbo, aka hide and seek. The students lied. The adults covered it up. And since then, whispers of a ghost girl haunting the halls have run rampant.

When one of their classmates goes missing, Kairi and her new best friend Miyako take matters into their own hands and begin their own paranormal investigation. Their search for the truth leads them to The Cemetery Under the School, a place where each grave is dug by a vengeful ghost who hasn't stopped playing the game. What ensues is an evening of violence and bloodshed.
