Story
Toru and Mari are once again the protagonists of Kamaitachi no Yoru 2, however they are not the same people that appeared in the first game. In the world of the sequel, Kamaitachi no Yoru was a video game that was written by Takemaru Abiko, who shares the same name as the real-world author of the game. Abiko based the game's story loosely on Toru and Mari's experience of being trapped in a snow lodge several years ago with other guests. After the game's blockbuster success, Abiko invites Toru, Mari, and the other guests to celebrate at his island villa. However, once they arrive, the group finds themselves trapped on the island as they begin to be killed off one by one.
