It does not go as planned. The three friends unwittingly trigger a curse placed on the hospital decades ago and are transported to another, darker realm, home to the vengeful spirit of Ayame Kirishima and countless other horrors. While their classmates go back home search for them, Haruka, Maria, and Nemu’s only hope for survival is to evade the malicious spirits haunting Amare Est Vivere Hospital and dispel Ayame’s curse once and for all.
