## Story

### Before the Amusement Park

The story begins with Yukihito, also known as "The Manager", the creator of a large amusement park named Fancy Island. Before Yukihito built his large amusement park, he would spend his time writing in two different diaries. One was simply named "The Manager's Journal" (Nikki.html) and the other was named "The Theory of Wanting to Die" or "A Message for a Hopeless Tomorrow". In the second diary, the manager talks about various aspects of society he disagrees with, and also talks about his suicidal thoughts and struggles to stay happy. The first diary's contents depict the manager's slow spiral into depression and other complications and his yearning to be "reborn".

### Early Days

On August 14th, 2009, Manager Yukihito finished construction on the amusement park of his dreams, an indoor theme park named "Fancy Island". The amusement park was decorated with lively pink decorations and included a mascot character named Mimi. Manager Yukihito promised to the public that Fancy Island would be a great location for summer vacations, and described it as a "land of dreams". Soon after the opening day, he hired actors to perform magic tricks in the central square of the amusement park.  A peformer known as Pieyama Pie-Man was hired, who would perform in the morning from 11:00-12:00, and in the afternoon from 14:00-15:00.

### The Incident

On the same day the opening act was hired, a new, highly contagious virus outbreak began at Fancy Island, referred to as "The Incident". 17 people were rushed to the hospital and the amusement park was forced to close down for an investigation. Two days later, the park's employees sent out apology letters to those affected, and Fancy Island would soon be permanently shut down on September 1st, 2009. Feeling extreme guilt over the outbreak and remorse over the closure of his amusement park, Manager Yukihito retreated from the public eye. Manager Yukihito would write about the closure of Fancy Island. He lamented how the mystery of the outbreak still wasn't solved, but he was still hoping to reopen on September 14th, 2009. Unfortunately, the reopening would never come to fruition, and Fancy Island would remain permanently closed. Due to this, Yukihito began ranting about his reoccurring nightmares and suicidal thoughts in his diary. Some of his dreams included his tongue being peeled off with a peeler, one where someone supposedly said, "You will die at someone's post," one where he spoke in complete gibberish and could only coherently say "CURSED," and one where he screamed. Yukihito would die on April 4th, 2010. The cause of his death is never revealed; however, given his history of suicidal ideation, he likely took his own life. Toushinfla.html suggests that he committed suicide by jumping off a building.

### Post Incident/Ghost Possession

News sources immediately scrambled to cover the outbreak and closer of the park. The headlines soon announced that various hostile ghosts had taken over the abandoned amusement park and turned it into a haunted attraction. Yukihito's soul would also live on, possessing a ghost referred to as Kanrinin no Yorishiro.

### Pieyama God

Fancy Island later became a haunted attraction that few ever visited. An evolved form of former park worker Pieyama Pie-Man, named Pieyama God, claimed the amusement park after the death of Yukihito and fervently tried to kill anyone who went inside. Pieyama took over the park's many dolls and animatronics and reprogrammed them to kill anyone who approached the park. Many ghosts living in the park tried to kill visiting members, although some simply preferred to scare visitors. Very few ghosts were friendly to park attendees. The exterior of the amusement park was still decorated with friendly pink decorations, most likely kept that way to trick people into thinking that they could enter the haunted amusement park without risk. The interior was changed to a bloodier aesthetic reminiscent of a haunted house. During this time, a ghost woman named Eris possessed a former employee of the park, a white cat named Nekoshow (possibly another mascot character), and forced them to return to the attraction. The possession turned Nekoshow into Cursed Cat, a demonized version of the cat.

### Game Events

After Pieyama God took over the park, an unnamed person named "You" (the player) visits Fancy Island. They work their way through the massive attraction and defeat various hostile ghosts. "You" also battles Cursed Cat, and frees Nekoshow from Eris' possession. With help from friendly ghosts, such as Yukan no Shonen, "You" maneuvers their way to the heart of the haunted attraction. They battle Pieyama God and succeed in defeating him. After Pieyama is killed, the remaining ghosts flee Fancy Island and the amusement park is returned to an abandoned attraction.
