Worldview:
Set in a near-future society where people's lives are made more comfortable and happier by a system. In this heavily secured society, people live prosperous lives.

However, all information is censored, and a certain urban legend whispers around the protagonist:
— Otherworldly Streaming.
This illegal video, known as such, is shrouded in mystery regarding who is broadcasting it and for what purpose.

It is said to be a drama that reflects love, suspense, and mystery, featuring commonplace content from TV and the internet.

Why does this urban legend circulate in a society where information is regulated? Likely due to stories that accompany the rumors of the streamed videos.

"If you participate as a cast member in the otherworldly stream, any wish will be granted."

While the exact purpose of the broadcasts and the filming locations remain unknown, it is rumored that if one can reach the filming location and perform in the drama, any wish will be granted.

This dreamlike rumor spreads as an urban legend.

Even while living rich lives under strict information regulations, this setting feels like an "Otherworld <Arcadia>" to "them."

Story:
In a near-future city, a high school sophomore protagonist enjoys peaceful days as summer vacation approaches. While walking home with a childhood friend, they suddenly encounter a mysterious figure who takes them to a strange world with "two moons."

Upon awakening, they find themselves with nine others in the same situation. As they grapple with the unknown, a masked man begins to speak.

"Welcome to the otherworld, Arcadia!"
"In this world, merely performing a 'drama' will make any wish come true!"

To return from the otherworld, the protagonist and their companions must act in a drama, working together to navigate the challenges.

However, they soon face the shocking reality that among the ten members is a "traitor" who brought them into this world. The traitor's intentions and the true reason for the drama unfold.

As doubts and trust waver, whose hand will they ultimately take?
