100 Random participants was chosen to join the surviving game through a game monitor helmet/VR & the winner can obtain Garo gold costume. A must watch dark thriller psychological drama. This not s sequel or prequel from previous Garo series/movie.

Same kind of atmosphere in both series, with episodic frame and a mysterious "lady know it all" about the characters.
In Love Game people receive a lot of money in exchange of doing something, and in Soumatou Kabushiki Gaisha it is a video disc. What they have been given could change the way of viewing their own life.

It is another survival game but this one has no set up and is more like "Hunger Games" than an unknown higher power running the show.
