Story

A classmate invites Kaname Sudou, a high school student, to play Darwin's Game, a smartphone game he has never heard of. However, when he launches the software, a green snake pops out from his phone screen and bites his neck, knocking him unconscious. When he awakens in the infirmary with no signs of a snake bite, the school tells him to take the rest of the day off. Despite his confusion, he dismisses the strange experience as a hallucination and boards the train home.

Unfortunately, his curiosity wins out and he utilizes the application once again. Kaname breathes a sigh of relief as the program appears to be identical to any other fight game and decides to begin his first match. However, the pleasant surprise is short-lived, as his in-game opponent unexpectedly appears right in front of him and attempts to hunt him down with a knife.

As he desperately runs for his life, Kaname puts two and two together and realizes that Darwin’s Game is not an ordinary game, but a brutal fight for survival.
