**[00:04] Narr**
    Rumor has it that monsters
    lurk in an empty mansion
**[00:07] ---**
    on the outskirts of town.
**[00:09] Narr**
    Hiroshi and his classmates, Takurou,
    Takeshi, and Mika, enter the mansion
**[00:14] Narr**
    and are attacked by the bizarre
    monster known as Aooni.
**[00:17] Narr**
    Can they solve a series of puzzles
    and escape the mansion?
**[00:23] Narr**
    Or...
**[00:24] Narr**
    Will they realize that Aooni
    looks like a costumed character
***SIGN***    Vinegar
**[00:26] Narr**

**[00:30] Narr**
    The mansion's transition into
    a theme park won't be halted!
