King's Game: Origin

王様ゲーム 起源

In 1977, the remote and isolated Yonaki Village is home to Kazunari Honda and his cousin Natsuko, his girlfriend. Their relationship is frowned upon by many villagers, but their quiet life is shattered when a mysterious black envelope appears, informing everyone they must now participate in the "King's Game." The rules are simple yet horrifying: the commands issued by the anonymous "King" must be followed by the end of each day, and no one is allowed to quit the game.

Initially dismissed as a cruel joke, the villagers soon learn the terrible truth when those who disobey or fail to complete the orders meet gruesome, inexplicable deaths. As the body count rises, Kazunari and his friends are forced to play along in this deadly game of survival, all while grappling with paranoia and the terrifying possibility that the "King" might be someone living among them in the village.
