''Go For A Punch! Saki Sanobashi'' is a short PsychologicalHorror visual novel based off the 4chan urban legend of an anime of the same name, in which four girls trapped inside a bathroom go insane and kill themselves in gruesome ways.

When the girl realizes she left the chemicals and all their phones in her car outside, so she decides to go and get it.
Unfortunately, she doesn't return, and the door is locked. With Saki and the other girls now trapped inside and unable to take the painless way out, they soon start deteriorating as they try to find a way out and discuss what led them to give up on life.
