Darwin's Game - S01

High school student Kaname Sudou gets an invitation from a classmate to play Darwin's Game, a mobile game he has never heard of. But as soon as he opens the app, a green snake pops out from his phone screen and bites his neck, leaving him unconscious. He wakes up in the infirmary with no signs of a snake bite, and the school tells him to take the rest of the day off. Puzzled by what happened, he dismisses the surreal experience as a hallucination and boards the train home. Unfortunately, his curiosity gets the better of him and he uses the app once again. Since it looks like just any other battle game, Kaname breathes a sigh of relief and decides to start his first match. But the pleasant surprise is short-lived, as his in-game opponent suddenly appears right in front of him and tries to hunt him down with a knife. As he desperately runs for his life, Kaname puts two and two together and realizes that Darwin's Game is not an ordinary game, but a brutal fight for survival.
