It's written by sly4good, and features an original set of characters trying to decipher a mystery in an original setting. It's written in a script styled format, and has an official blog found on tumblr

Fukuyo Yuudai is the Super High School Level Curator. Discontent with his life living behind the scenes of his family's art museum, he applies to a local school, the Akihara Technical Institute for Gifted Individuals, in the hopes of bettering himself and propelling himself into the future. However, things go amiss the very day he's supposed to meet the rest of his class. Instead of waking up in a prestigious academy, Fukuyo and fifteen other talented students find themselves trapped in a shoddy looking factory. Unsure of what to do or where to go, the group must use their wits to stay alive — or else face the consequences of their esteemed supervisor.


This fanfic provides examples of:

  • Cast of Snowflakes: No two students in the class look or act alike.
  • Gender-Equal Ensemble: There's exactly seven male students, seven female students, and two non binary students.
  • No OSHA Compliance: The Factory itself is described to be in a horrible state; with rust coating the walls, drops from huge heights with no railings to stop, a pool filled with toxic sludge, and gears of all sorts grinding against the wall.
  • You All Meet in a Cell: Everyone meets each other for the very first time upon waking up in the factory except for Michizoe and Budou, who knew each other in elementary school.
  • You Wake Up in a Room: Fukuyo's introduction in the factory starts off by him being awoken in a room filled with gears.
