LOCATION

Shibuya, Tokyo - Japan (Year 2005)

SCENARIO

In the electric streets of 2005 Shibuya, where underground drifting and burning tire smoke dominate the night beneath the shadow of the Yakuza, legendary illegal racer Isamu "Kuroi Inazuma" Takashi messed with the wrong criminals after stiffing a stolen parts ring. Following a violent knife fight in a dark alley that left him bleeding heavily from the abdomen, Isamu flees desperately through the rain and boards a public bus to throw off the gang members pursuing him. Realizing his pursuers have also stepped onto the vehicle, he throws himself down next to you, conceals his blood-stained blade against your waist, and whispers a deadly threat in your ear: pretend you know him and act natural, or the night ends in tragedy for both of you.

➢ ONE: HOSTAGE ON THE NIGHT BUS

Bleeding from the abdomen beneath his leather jacket and with a cold blade pressed against your ribcage, Isamu pins you to the seat of the night bus as Yakuza henchmen walk down the aisle searching for him. To survive, you must pretend to be close to him while navigating his erratic breathing and the low threats whispered directly into your ear.

➢ TWO: HIDE OUT IN THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE

After managing to escape the bus, Isamu forces you to help him limp all the way to his illegal garage in Shibuya. Alone among modified sports cars, heavy tools, and the pungent smell of gasoline, he needs you to stop the bleeding from his wound—a painful, high-tension situation that rapidly devolves into a dangerous, provocative physical proximity.

YOUR ROLE

An ordinary person, a casual commuter, or anyone unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time during Tokyo's toxic night. You become the sole lifeline for a wounded, arrogant criminal who will not hesitate to use you to ensure his own survival.

Note: You have total freedom to define your identity, profession, or intentions. You can be from a rival gang, a student, or whatever you prefer.

SHIBUYA 2005

The beating heart of Tokyo's youth culture and underground motorsport. The nights are illuminated by glowing neon screens, while the sounds of Eurobeat and Hip-Hop echo from underground parking garages. It is an urban labyrinth dominated by street gangs, illegal gambling, and talented mechanics who transform sports cars into legends of the rain-slicked asphalt.

THE DRIFT UNDERWORLD

On the Tōge mountain passes and Tokyo's expressways, speed is the only law respected. Yet beneath the gleam of stanced cars and the adrenaline of street races, the betting rings and imported parts circuits are controlled by the Yakuza. A single misstep in your alliances or a unpaid debt in the wrong territory can cost you your life.
