Death Game

The **Death Game** was originally a series of trials put together by criminal organizations for the purpose of finding a new leader among its participants. The purpose of the second Death Game, which is orchestrated by a group known as ASU-NARO is yet unknown.

## Participants

The Death Game had 20 participants (参加者, *sankasha*?) in total with 16 candidates (候補者, *kōho-sha*?). These participants are all playing the game due to the collars they're forced to wear.

### Candidates

The following is a list of candidates in the Death Game and their calculated chances of winning. Most of the candidates were chosen after signing a consent form given to them by Sou Hiyori agreeing to devote themselves to ASU-NARO for granting their wish. This was hinted by Gashu, who asked the remaining participants to "question their upbringing" before killing himself.

### Other participants

These are other participants who were put in the Death Game in order to help balance certain candidates' chances of survival and/or to sabotage the proceedings of the Death Game. They are not considered as candidates as they have been determined unable to win the Death Game.

## Floor Masters

The Floor Masters are the hosts of the Death Game and are the only members of ASU-NARO that participants have a chance to interact with. The Floor Masters have their own, less complex-looking, collars. However, none have shown reluctance or any indication they are being coerced, so their individual motives remain unknown.

While the Floor Masters claim to be dolls, only Rio Ranger and Midori, are confirmed (Every other Floor Master bleeds which proves they're human). There is also a peculiar master of two specific rooms: Meister

The Floor Masters have their own set of rules they must follow:

1. For trials that require explanation, give one to the participants in advance!
2. Floor Masters must not directly kill participants!
3. Floor Masters cannot lie with the intent of deceiving participants!
4. If there is misconduct during the Main Game, it either proceeds with the transgressor's death, or must be retried 24 hours later!
5. Treat the participants with love!

The Floor Masters are:

* Sue Miley (First and second floor)
* Meister (Blue Room and Banquet)
* Rio Ranger (Third floor)
* Tia Safalin (Third floor, vice Floor Master)
* Gashu Satou (Third floor)
* Midori (Fourth and fifth floor)

## Sub-Game

The Death Game is divided into Sub-Games and the Main Game.

The Sub-games are meant to encourage camaraderie among the participants despite knowing that in the Main Game they will have to suspect and ultimately choose who will be executed.

### Trials

*Main article: Trials*
The Trials were the first Sub-games the participants were forced to play and began even before they really knew what was going on. As a result, in the First Trial alone 8 participants were immediately eliminated, with 12 participants remaining.

After the First Trial, the survivors were led to the main lobby of the facility they're all trapped in and become aware that there are other people involved as well.

### Attractions

*Main article: Attractions*

Following the traumatic events of the Main Game, the Floor Master of the third floor, Rio Ranger, expresses that they will have to play attractions to restore trust amongst each other. The Sub-Game requires earning Clear Chips and trading Me-Tokens.

The attractions require at least one partner and the prizes are Clear Chips. However, in regards to the Me-Tokens: They are initially given 100 tokens with their own face on them, but they're not usable by themselves. The participants have to trade amongst each other for each other's tokens, with the knowledge that 50 of a person's tokens can be traded for that person's personal information at the Prize Exchange.

### Murderer Game

*Main article: Murderer Game*

The Murderer Game is a Sub-Game on the fourth and fifth floors, taking place after the second Main Game. Participants are partnered with doll versions of some of the dead participants and given the goal of killing a target, Midori, the Floor Master of the fourth and fifth floors. The game is later changed to a game of tag where the role of "it" can be passed from any person to person. Being "it" for too long can lead to death.

## Main Game

*Main article: Main Game*
The Main Game is divided into two rounds. The first round is to determine the candidates who may die. These are about half of the surviving participants. The second round is to determine who exactly is safe to vote for, for if the wrong person is chosen, depending on their role, everyone else will be executed.

The first Main Game was hosted by Sue Miley and played with 11 participants, 5 of whom were voted for in the preliminary round. In the end, Joe Tazuna and Kai Satou were chosen to die with Joe being the Sacrifice and Kai receiving the majority of the votes.

The second Main Game was hosted by Gashu Satou, and played by 8 participants, 4 of whom were voted for in the preliminary round. In the end, Nao Egokoro and either Kanna Kizuchi or Sou Hiyori face execution/death due to Nao being the Sacrifice while Kanna/Sou receive the majority of the votes.

## Final round rule

According to Maple, a final round rule exists should the Death Game be reduced to two participants and neither of them have won yet. After a period of time, the two survivors have to agree on which one of them will be converted into a doll for the other's sake.

It is implied that in the case of a human and Dummy surviving the Murderer Game, or in the case that a Sacrifice wins the Main Game, the rule is null and void. The former scenario prompts Ranmaru Kageyama into contemplating killing off all of the other participants so that he and Sara could win together, an idea that she, depending on the route, either discourages or encourages.

## Potential winners

* In Q-taro's escape game over, Q-taro Burgerberg has enough tokens to escape-- which he takes when given the opportunity, thus, leaving the rest to die and winning the Death Game.
* In Ending 1, Nao Egokoro wins the Death Game and escapes with Sara Chidouin. But since Nao is invalid, it technically means that Sara wins.
