## Description
Apathy - Midnight Collection ~Vol. 1~ is an alternate retelling of the horror VN [Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi](/v745). Additional scenarios and art were eventually added to the original in 2007 to make [Apathy - Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi ~Visual Novel Version~](/v746), followed by a final version S that added further scenarios the following year.

Apathy - Midnight Collection ~Vol. 1~ is comprised of three stories.

Emi’s Murder Club Observation Diary is the main story of Midnight Collection 1, which chronicles the adventures of a psychopathic schoolgirl and her attempts not to be assassinated by the school’s Murder Club.

The Following Dog is a far more down-to-earth horror story. It revolves around the legend of a dog who will eat you if you look back on your journey.

Scratches on the Pillars rounds the collection off with a very evocative, artistic story. It's extremely short and is completely linear.
