Description:

The deadly virus known as "Medusa" sweeps across the globe, creating a pandemic that threatens the lives of countless people. To evade the disease's grasp, a select few are chosen to enter a state of cryogenic sleep, confined in capsules until a cure can be discovered. Among the 160 chosen for this procedure is Kasumi, a teenage girl who is led to the Cold Sleep Capsule Center (CSCC), located in an old castle. Despite the odds, Kasumi enters her capsule with the hope of one day being reunited with her twin sister Shizuku, who has also been infected with the virus. As they awaken from their slumber, Kasumi and the other survivors quickly realize that the CSCC is not as they had left it. The castle is overgrown with thorns, and mysterious monsters attack them at every turn, reminiscent of the tale of Sleeping Beauty. How long have they been asleep? Where did these monsters come from? What has happened to the world in their absence? Trapped in a perplexing new reality, the seven survivors embark on a perilous journey, searching for answers and fighting for survival.
