There's a certain mountain that exists in central Hokkaido.

A young couple once visited the mountain to go climbing, but there was an accident and they weren't missing.

The police conducted an investigation, but they couldn't find any clues. To this day, nobody

knows what happened to them. There's a rumor, however, that Gomiko san haunts this mountain.

She suddenly appears if you're walking around late at night.

She chases after you, screaming,

You threw me away!

If she catches you, she cuts off all of your limbs, gouges out your eyes, put you into a garbage

She chases you with inhuman speed, no matter how hard you try to run away, you'll always get caught.

If you ever encounter her by yourself, there's no way to escape.

However, if you're with two or more people, you could split up and try to run in different directions,

leaving one person to become a sacrifice, while everyone else has a chance to escape.
