High school teacher Yukio fell asleep at the end of the day, really like any other day... but this time it was different, the air was cold, the sky turned red, everything was dark and strange whispers were heard. steps... many things have changed.
Everything seemed like a nightmare until he realized that he had woken up, and while he was dreaming he heard a warning:
"I'm going to devour you human beings, if you can't escape, light the twelve lamps of the monster dimension and escape"
Then the young professor understood that if he couldn't escape, he would be devoured.
Puzzles, scares and strange creatures await you at the institute!
