Official Trailer
Story & Plot
Ageha Yoshina is a teenager who will help anyone, for a small fee. Then he finds a red phone card, the kind tied to Psyren, a secret society people whisper about and nobody can prove exists. The card is linked to his childhood friend Sakurako Amamiya, who has gone missing.
When Ageha uses the card, he is pulled out of his own time and dropped into a ruined future Earth. The world he knows is gone. What is left is a wasteland of broken cities and dangerous creatures, and a voice on the phone that treats survival itself as a game.
The rules are simple to say and hard to live by. Survive the game, earn your way back home, and keep playing, because the card keeps calling. And the longer Ageha plays, the clearer one question gets: what happened to the Earth, and can it still be stopped?
