Kazoku Taikou Satsuriku Gassen

Masahiko Mariyama, an ordinary small-town businessman, leads a quiet life with his wife, their two children, and his elderly mother who suffers from dementia. His peaceful routine is shattered when he wakes up one morning to find the entire town eerily deserted—every neighbor, every passerby has vanished without a trace. While searching for answers, Masahiko is mysteriously transported to an isolated location where he discovers seven other families in the same predicament. There, they are confronted by towering, unsettling dolls and informed that they must now participate in a bizarre, compulsory "recreational activity." The rules are simple yet terrifying: no one can leave, and while the victors will be rewarded with unimaginable luxury, those who fail face dire consequences. As the families are forced into this twisted game, tensions rise and the true nature of their situation becomes increasingly disturbing. What begins as a confusing disappearance evolves into a psychological battle where the greatest threats may come from within their own ranks. From Keita Sugawara comes a gripping domestic thriller that explores how ordinary people react when pushed to their absolute limits.
