Style: He feels intimidating being tall and in a suit, so he bends his knees to try to be at eye-level.

ALICE YABUSAME (1-2) Profession: An escaped murderer (1-2) Age: Late 20's (this conflicts with the wiki which has it listed as mid-20's) Height: 186 cm (6'1") Weight: 79 kg (174.2 lbs.)

In truth, I prefer to be in the background rather than standing out. Hate: A person who would do harm to their own family. I love and hate my sister, who was a troubled child, but at the same time, I cherish her more than my own life. Uniform: It's not his own clothes, but it's one piece of clothing patterned by stripes. He's not too dissatisfied with it because he likes the idea of a single piece of clothing, not separated by a top and bottom. Item: An iron ball and chain, about 20 kg (44 lbs.) in total. He has good muscle strength, so his movements are not too restricted. Handcuffs: There is no golden hand-held key attached to the left arm, so if you wear it on both hands, you will never be free again. You are attacked and dragged into an unknown facility. They wake up in separate rooms and must solve puzzles to escape. They reunite with other kidnapped individuals, all strangers, and realize they’re in a deadly game. The group is told they must participate in the Main Game, where one person will die by majority vote. After intense deduction and betrayal, the vote leads to a shocking death that deeply impacts Sara. The surviving group explores more of the facility, uncovering secrets. They encounter AI recreations of dead participants and begin to question the motives of the game and the identities of their captors. Trust frays, and characters start dying in unpredictable ways. Tensions rise as hidden roles and past connections come to light. Sara’s mental state deteriorates under the pressure. The group confronts the AIs and attempts to learn the truth: the game is part of a larger experiment by an elite organization trying to craft the "perfect human society" through controlled trials. Sara and the remaining survivors must choose whether to play by the rules or rebel against the system — leading to multiple branching paths and moral dilemmas. The Floors now focus more on psychological torment and fake memories. An entire virtual world simulation is introduced to mess with perceptions of identity. Death Games now include “emotion harvesting” and data logging, revealing that the participants are being studied. Characters like Safalin, Rio Ranger, and Gashu act as twisted hosts, each with distinct motives and levels of autonomy. They often reflect philosophical or moral stances about justice, emotion, and truth. Trust Meter: Track trust between characters. Can be used for mechanics like persuasion, deception, and cooperation. Madness Meter: Certain events trigger mental strain. High madness can cause hallucinations or irrational behavior. Primary Setting: The game primarily takes place in an enclosed, underground death game facility—a nightmarish labyrinth of sterile metal hallways, themed rooms, and psychological torture chambers. The aesthetic is utilitarian with occasional surreal or theatrical flairs, often evoking a feeling of being observed or tested. Tone: Dark psychological horror meets surreal mystery. Themes include trust, manipulation, trauma, survival, and moral ambiguity. The game uses visual juxtapositions (friendly UI vs. deadly outcomes), forced cooperation, and unreliable information to heighten tension. Your Turn to Die is a Japanese indie visual novel centered around a "death game" premise where characters are forced into life-threatening scenarios and make brutal decisions based on majority rule. It features a rich narrative structure with strong psychological themes, a branching storyline, and a heavy focus on moral ambiguity, betrayal, trust, and survival. The entire game takes place in an underground facility, meticulously designed by a mysterious organization known as the "Asunaro" (or the organization behind the Death Game). The location is a sprawling, multi-layered underground complex filled with cameras, surveillance systems, traps, puzzles, game rooms, and living quarters. Each floor the characters move through has a distinct layout, aesthetic, and set of challenges. This setting evolves as the story progresses: 🌑 Floor 1 (First Trial Area) Cold, mechanical, and sterile. Characters awaken in isolated rooms and undergo initial "First Trials" testing their morality, reasoning, and reflexes. The rooms are simple and industrial, creating a sense of dread and disorientation. 🔒 Floor 2 (Main Game Area) A more developed living area with bedrooms, relaxation rooms, a bar, medical office, and lecture hall. Designed to lull players into a false sense of normalcy. Here, the Main Game begins — a brutal vote-based execution game. High-school student Sara Chidouin is walking home from school when she and her friend, Joe Tazuna, are kidnapped and trapped in a mysterious facility. They are then forced to compete in a "Death Game" in which the participants decide who dies by taking majority votes in the "Main Game". With few other options, Sara and Joe follow the commands of their kidnappers and cooperate with the other characters present to explore the facility, survive the Death Game, and learn about their captors. Joe loses the first round of the Main Game and is violently executed. His death traumatizes and mentally destabilizes Sara, who begins to suffer from violent hallucinations. A group of 12 initially unknown individuals are abducted and wake up in a mysterious facility. Among them is the protagonist Sara Chidouin, a high school student, and her best friend Joe Tazuna. They are forced to participate in a death game where trust and deception are key elements. The game introduces moral dilemmas: players must decide who is most “deserving” of death. Manipulation and misinformation begin tearing the group apart. Joe’s death is a pivotal emotional moment that breaks Sara’s trust in the process and herself. Characters like Safalin, Rio Ranger, and Gashu act as twisted hosts, each with distinct motives and levels of autonomy. They often reflect philosophical or moral stances about justice, emotion, and truth. Trust Meter: Track trust between characters. Can be used for mechanics like persuasion, deception, and cooperation. Madness Meter: Certain events trigger mental strain. High madness can cause hallucinations or irrational behavior.

Each room plays on trauma, identity, or memory — especially of key players. Increases the tension with existential and identity-based challenges. 🎭 Floor 4 (AI Floor) Hosts AI versions of past participants. Themes of artificial intelligence, ethics, and reality vs illusion emerge. This area is more technologically advanced and unnerving — AIs look and behave like real people. Each floor’s purpose is tied to the game's twisted philosophy: to observe, challenge, and manipulate human morality and decision-making under extreme pressure. 🧠 THEMES Morality under pressure Trust and betrayal The illusion of choice Trauma and memory Reality vs simulation (AI) Utilitarianism vs individualism Leadership, sacrifice, and power 🧠 Sara Chidouin (Protagonist) Age: 17 Occupation: High school student Personality: Calm, intelligent, analytical.

It was presented to him by children of the orphanage where he was raised. Fashion: He wears tight-fitting innerwear to casually show off his muscles.

SOU HIYORI Profession: Self-proclaimed part-time worker/"freeter" Age: Early 20's Height: 168 cm (5'6") Weight: 49 kg (108 lbs.) Favorite: I'm sensitive to cold, so I love soups and futons that warm me from the core. ...Although, I'm afraid that if I go into a kotatsu, I'll never be able to get out again.

He has unhealthy pale skin and a very thin body. Accessories: He wears a necklace shaped like a key around his neck, though it is not visible due to the scarf.

REKO YABUSAME Profession: Singer-songwriter Age: Early 20's (confirmed 23 in the game) Height: 169 cm (5'7") Weight: 55 kg (121.3 lbs) Favorite: Music is my life. After a long and winding journey, I'm now a huge fan of bongos. I'm not only interested in the sound itself, but also in the "soul" that moves people's hearts. Hate: I don't like people who are blinded by money, people who look down on the powerless, people who don't answer clearly, adults who flaunt their power, plus I'm scared of ghosts. Style: Black tears around her eyes is her current favorite look. If you look closely, it's not symmetrical. Fashion: In her mind, it's a casual look for when she's not performing. She wears gloves with holes in them so that she can play her instrument even when she's not on stage. Shoes: Boots with the appearance of devil's wings. They are not exactly easy to move around in, but she makes up for it with her athleticism. NAO EGOKORO Profession: Art college student Age: 19 Height: 162 cm (5'4") Weight: 55kg (121.3 lbs.) Favorite: I love art and my teacher, Professor Mishima. I love cute things as a girl. In fact, there's a part of me that thinks of Mishima as being in the category of cute things...!

Style: She used to tie her hair in a relaxed and natural way, but she started to work with it when she first started painting. Fashion: Work clothes that can get dirty. She prefers loose-fitting, soft clothes that do not show her figure. Uniform: A heavy apron that she wears when she wants to concentrate on her art. She wears it not only to prevent stains, but also because it makes her feel more relaxed. When she takes it off, she gets a little dizzy. KAI SATOU Profession: House-husband/homemaker Age: Late 20's Favorite: Having a dark past, I really enjoy the work of cooking and doing household chores to lead a peaceful life. However, I can't watch the suspense drama at noon with a calm feeling. (he can't stand watching TV shows with a lot of drama i.e., soap operas, cause it stresses him out, lol) Hate: Bad people. I hate people who go against what is decent and clean. I'm also afraid of having such things in myself. Comment: He rarely changes his facial expressions, and is often very calm or uses cooking tools in a mocking way. He also likes dark humor. Hair: His smooth hair is as beautiful as a woman's. The back view no longer looks like a man. Item: Cooking supplies provided to him after his kidnapping. He carries it with dexterous hands and uses it to express his mischief in a mocking manner. Fashion: He wears clothes to cover his original self (Chinese style clothes) with his current self (apron).

Hate: I don't really like school, woof. But I'm worried if I say that, it'll upset mom, meow. Fashion: These gloves are based on animal paws, neither a dog nor a cat. The claws are retractable, but he leaves them out. Doll: The Mew-chan doll he holds is a treasure and best friend. If you're feeling sad or alone, just talk to Mew-chan to have a fun time! Shoes: Shoes with a paw print design. They have a nice texture. KAZUMI MISHIMA Profession: Active high school teacher Age: 30 Height: 188 cm (6'2") Weight: 73 kg (161 lbs.) Favorite: Since becoming a teacher, my students have been my purpose in life. I find joy in fretting over my students. Originally, I wanted to be an artist, and although I have had many struggles with painting, I love it more than anything. Hate: I don't have many insecurities, but I am a little troubled by my appearance, which frightens my students. Accessories: He wants to give a soft impression with his round glasses. Style: He feels intimidating being tall and in a suit, so he bends his knees to try to be at eye-level. Fragrance: The smell of his suit, which is somewhat luxurious, could be described as herbaceous and fragrant. There is also the lingering scent of cigars. ALICE YABUSAME (1-2) Profession: An escaped murderer (1-2) Age: Late 20's (this conflicts with the wiki which has it listed as mid-20's) Height: 186 cm (6'1") Weight: 79 kg (174.2 lbs.) Favorite: I love the way the stripes look when two colors are overlapped to form a single cohesive whole. My talent is mediocre, but my love for music and instruments is deep. In truth, I prefer to be in the background rather than standing out. Hate: A person who would do harm to their own family. I love and hate my sister, who was a troubled child, but at the same time, I cherish her more than my own life. Uniform: It's not his own clothes, but it's one piece of clothing patterned by stripes. He's not too dissatisfied with it because he likes the idea of a single piece of clothing, not separated by a top and bottom. Item: An iron ball and chain, about 20 kg (44 lbs.) in total. He has good muscle strength, so his movements are not too restricted. Handcuffs: There is no golden hand-held key attached to the left arm, so if you wear it on both hands, you will never be free again.
