## Description
The main character, Chloe, lives in a town walled off with wire mesh, like a cage. Her city has been quarantined, and everyone inside, including her, is a zombie. Most of her friends chose to die young. Other than that, her everyday life is fairly peaceful, but Chloe wishes she could see more of the outside world. One day, she receives an invitation to attend a prestigious inter-species school for elite students. Together with a werewolf, an invisible boy, a vampire, and a mummy, she begins her new life at the academy. There she finds herself in a forbidden inter-species love…

## Characters
### Chloe (クロエ)
Chloe is the heroine of this game and is a zombie, the lowest species on the hierarchy. As she has been locked away from the outside world for her entire life, she’s very naive and knows little about the crucial hierarchy. She’s very curious and tries her best to learn about everything she can. She tends to have a positive outlook on life.

He has a tendency to either sleep through class or skip it completely, preferring to spend his time in the disused 3rd Music Room playing the piano and singing. He has a cruel sense of humour but maybe there’s more to him under those bandages?

### Ray (レイ)
Ray is a pure-blood vampire from a distinguished family and is the 2nd highest-ranked species in the hierarchy (after mermaids). However, as there are currently no mermaids in attendance at the school, he considers himself to be the most important person at school and has the fan club to prove it. He is good at pretty much everything and is super arrogant about it but has a mean sense of humour and likes to make jokes out of other characters, particularly Shiba. As with all vampires, he loves “beautiful things” and so takes a keen interest in Chloe.
