While they brush it off as a prank at first, after they get trapped inside the office with no escape, they soon realize they're in for a rough night. With a vengeful spirit now actively hunting after them, Kazuki and his coworkers conclude they better unveil the mystery of their company before the clock strikes twelve - or die trying.
