Set in the {{Nihongo|Kirisaku|私立霧索高等学校|Shiritsu Kirisaku Kotogakko}} Japanese private institute, the game involves a sudden massive zombie invasion of the school. Just five young girls managed to survive but they have to fight against hordes of horrific zombies with a large amount of weapons from common Baseball bats to powerful machine guns, sniper rifles or rocket launchers. Each character has her own skills like special martial arts. When the girls are in serious danger they can throw their costumes to zombies to divert zombie's attention.
