The plot revolves around a high school student Kaname Sudou. He receives an invitation from a classmate to play a mobile game named Darwin’s Game. However, a green snake suddenly manifests from his phone screen and bites his neck as Kaname opens the game. As a result, he becomes unconscious.

But the unpleasant surprise comes when our hero plays the game for the first time. His in-game opponent appears right before Kaname to hunt him down with a knife. It does not take long for our hero to understand that Darwin’s Game is no ordinary game.

He keeps fighting to survive, as there is no way to quit the game. But every player in the game has their “Sigil” that allows him to use a special power against their opponent.
