To their surprise, their life remained calm and peaceful until gas erupted from the swamp beside Hinamizawa, causing numerous deaths. Unfortunately, Natsumi was unaware that the catastrophic "Great Hinamizawa Disaster" would soon lead to many terrifying misfortunes. After the incident, Natsumi's grandmother, who had previously lived in Hinamizawa, began exhibiting extremely suspicious behavior.
