Game story 

Journalist Hiroshi will investigate several cases of genetic mutations happening in locations close to Minamata now abandoned because of the environmental disaster caused by the Gin'iro company, releasing toxic materials into the water and thus making the place unsuitable for human life on site. To become this habitable wasteland the government has taken a measure of decontamination that will take years to repair. But somehow the case has been spreading out of Minamata and apparently no one is talking about that, as an investigative journalist, that became something of interest so went straight there to investigate what's going on. As a first act Hiroshi decided to investigate the Minamata hospital where the physician Shuichi discovered the problems of toxic materials released into the water.

The city seemed to be deserted with no workers in the area. area, there's something wrong going on in town. As it was almost dusk hurried to enter the hospital. The hospital exudes a funereal aura, probably because of the many lives lost here due to the material toxic. Inside the hospital he starts looking for clues and Shuichi's files, doctor in charge of the hospital, and ends up finding his notebook notes. In the notebook there are several descriptions of what happened, and how the disease ended up developing in that place, but in the last pages looked like they were written by someone else.
