“You have been cursed.”

Lens is a horror adventure game in which the protagonist, afflicted by a mysterious “curse,” must uncover its origins in order to survive.

A series of unexplained disappearances in S City; strange messages and videos; a camera app capable of capturing spirits; and signs of a curse that only you can see…

After being cursed by a seemingly trivial incident, the protagonist investigates haunted locations that may hold clues, inching closer to the terrifying truth behind the curse gradually consuming them.

Hayato Tsukumo, a writer for the occult magazine Aghastia, hears an intriguing rumor during his daily reporting: people are mysteriously disappearing one after another in S City. What the missing individuals have in common is that they had all visited haunted locations—and received strange messages on their smartphones.

Though intrigued, Tsukumo is in the middle of covering another story. But then, he too receives a mysterious message and video on his phone.

Unable to resist his curiosity, Tsukumo watches the video—and suddenly, a bloodstained camera app installs itself on his phone. Then comes a chilling new message.

A woman’s voice whispers suddenly in his ear…

“Find… my… precious…”

And then, Tsukumo loses consciousness.

Since that nightmare, Tsukumo’s daily life has been completely upended. Black marks only he can see begin to appear, and his physical condition worsens by the day. He can feel the curse slowly draining his life away each day…

But he refuses to stand around, waiting to die. He resolves to break the curse—and survive!

Determined to thoroughly investigate the rumors behind the disappearances, Tsukumo begins to uncover the horrifying truth hidden within the curse…
