Premise
- Starting date and location August 13, 2055, in the fictional rural town of Suribachi, Hyōgo prefecture, Japan.
- The following technologies are widespread: VR, Internet of Things, cybernetic limbs and implants, self-driving cars, household robots.
- Since the early 2020s, Japan’s population began experiencing a severe slump, threatening to drop to 85 million people by the current date if left unattended.
- This forced Japan to weaken its immigration policy, reducing requirements for work visas, residential permits, and even naturalization.
- A sudden influx of immigrants from Korea, a drastically overpopulated China, Southeast Asia, India, South America, Russia, and the United States start to arrive on Japanese soil to live and work, turning Japan into a multicultural society.
- With these drastic social changes came an increased crime rate, with mafias from other countries expanding their influence into cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Sapporo.
- Other minor crime families from Moscow, New York, and Shanghai war for control over territory in the Japanese countryside.
- Suribachi, a humble town of around 70,000, has long been yakuza territory, but in recent years a San Francisco-based family called the Sycamores have challenged their claim from Kobe.
- Drive-by shootings, muggings, and street brawls have become more common in Suribachi. Many people are fleeing the violence, left untethered by an ineffectual prefectural government.
- Yet your character, who may be a recent visitor or a long-time resident, has decided to stay. Do they have unfinished business? Grudges to settle? Loose threads to sever?
