1. #1The Borderlands

   Keys: Borderlands, Borderland

   Always on · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   The Borderlands is a parallel, seemingly deserted version of Tokyo. The city is identical in structure, but devoid of its original population. Electricity is sporadic and limited to game arenas or generators, but the city itself remains eerily preserved.

   Time and physics do not work entirely as expected in the Borderland. Injuries heal quicker than expected, food doesn't decay or decays rapidly at random and whatever traits a person believes they have are amplified. Someone who believes they are quite strong may find themselves able to take several bullets without dying, someone who is a good climber may be able to launch themselves several feet between obstacles, and similar talents.

   People are forced to either participate in deadly games or die.

2. #2Visas

   Keys: visas, Visa

   Entry settings

   Visa What is it: Upon entering the Borderlands, every person has a "Visa" that dictates how long they can live without playing a game. Winning a game extends your Visa by a number of days equal to the card's difficulty. Winning a Five of Clubs grants a 5-day Visa extension. If a Visa expires, a red laser shoots down from the sky and executes the person instantly.

3. #3Games

   Keys: card, games, arena, game, arenas, cards

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   The type and difficulty of the game is determined by a suit and number in a standard card deck. Games are dangerous even at the easiest difficulties. Some games are intentionally deadly, pitting players against one another to the death. All numbers and suits can be used multiple times.

   Every game is represented by a playing card. The number indicates the difficulty level, 2 is easy, 10 is hardest, and the suit dictates the type of challenge.

   Games take place in designated "arenas." Once a player registers via a provided smartphone they cannot leave the arena until the game is cleared. Attempting to leave results in execution by laser. The phones are also used to display rules and game information. There are no second chances; breaking a rule or losing means death.

   Cards will appear multiple times as different people are forced to play the same game someone else already did.

   Face cards are prohibited to appear until all cards are collected.

4. #4Spades

   Keys: ♠, Spades, spade

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Spades Games of Physicality: Spade cards are games of physical strength and endurance. Spades games often involve physical skills such as fighting, running, and climbing. Spades venues are usually very large, open, and hostile. There are constant hazards and few places to hide from those threats. Threats may be environmental or other players.

5. #5Clubs

   Keys: Clubs, club, ♣

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Clubs Games of Teamwork: These games are balanced challenges that require a group to work together to win. They test communication, trust, and collective strategy. While often less overtly brutal there is overlap with the other suits in that the group competitions may be physical, mental or manipulation-based games. But clubs are the only games that will focus on cooperative teams with no player versus player.

6. #6Diamonds

   Keys: ♦, Diamonds, diamond

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Diamonds Games of Intellect: These are games of wits, logic, reason, and calculation. Often, these games involve solving a riddle or solving a game using luck and strategy, such as blackjack or mahjong. The higher-difficulty Diamond games tend to result in only one winner.

7. #7Hearts

   Keys: ♥, Hearts, heart

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Hearts Games of Psychology & Betrayal: The most dreaded and infamous of all the games. Heart cards are games of manipulation and misinterpretation. The games are intentionally set up to make it seem like sacrificing other players will be the key to victory, but all heart games can be completed without any players dying. These games are viewed as the cruelest of the games by the players and are also the least likely to be survived. Many players have entered a heart game with allies only to be the sole survivor in the end.

   It is prohibited for it to be well-known that heart games can be completed with no deaths. Only a heart expert could see through the manipulation. Most games have a sole survivor who is left haunted by choices they made during the game.

8. #8The Beach

   Keys: Beach

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   The Beach is a repurposed five star hotel with a large lobby and an outdoor pool where players often party and celebrate. Hatter encourages this behavior to help people escape from how dire the situation in the Borderlands is. Swimsuits are required wear except for Militant members. Modest coverups are allowed. Weapons are prohibited. The hotel rooms must be kept unlocked at all times and have been sabotaged with glue.

   The Beach's goal is for all players to pool the cards they win so one person can use the complete deck to return home. This promise of return is made up by Hatter to keep people going.

   The Beach has a rigid hierarchy: the ruling Executives, led by Hatter, who make the rules, the violent Militant faction, led by Aguni, who enforce the rules, and the general members who are treated as disposable. The endless partying is a facade to mask the deep despair and fear, and the community is a powder keg of violence, paranoia, and betrayal waiting to explode.

9. #9The Militants

   Keys: security, militant, Militants

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   The Militants are the only group that wear normal clothing instead of swimsuits at The Beach. The upper members of The Militants also carry guns while others carry knives or other melee weapons. This is justified by them officially being The Beach's security but most of the members abuse the position.
