About the game
An unknown virus that makes infected people violent has spread and the world has changed completely. A mob rushed to St. Lily’s Girls Academy and the students fled to the old school building. There they remain hidden. The girls hold their breath and wait for rescue with anxiety and fear. At dawn, one of their friends died… they can’t leave the corpse as it is as they don’t know when help will come. The girls are divided into groups and try to embalm the corpses with the limited materials in the school while looking for clues to the murderer who may be hiding among them… in this game, the players become leaders of each team and give instructions to the team members (hands). The last hand is the leaders themselves. Will you be able to reach the truth of the incident and survive the tragedy? —description from the publisher (translated) In this quick card game players play cards from hand to either complete the embalming task, to place suspicion on other players, or perform a card's special action. When all players have only 1 card remaining, the game ends. The embalming is successful if the cards played to it meet the target number (based on the number of players). Players then check their suspicion levels. The player(s) with the highest suspicion are arrested as suspects and cannot win. The remaining players then check the victory conditions of their final hand card in the priority order of the cards. If they meet the card's victory conditions then they have won the game. —user summary
