3

3 is a novel game about Tasaki Shinya, a young man who travels from a distant northern land. After being drawn into a series of events, he loses his left eye in an accident that leads to an unimaginable fate.

One day, Shinya meets Rin, a young girl who claims to have come from the future to meet him. He dismisses the claim as a lie and spends his days with Rin, his college underclassman Hana, and the bosses at his part-time job. Though his life does not improve, he enjoys his days and begins to hope they will continue. Then his peaceful life is abruptly destroyed: the scene before him is bloodied, cats cry out, and a mysterious girl appears, eating a popsicle as she looks over the crimson lakes on the ground. She invites Shinya to follow her if he wants to know what happened.
