Plot

When the Game Ends follows a group of schoolgirls who are roped into a game by a supernatural being named Zepfur. The objective of the game is to win the heart of Asunaro Kohinata, and the consequence of losing is eternal damnation. Each girl receives an app on their phone that documents the "hearts" they have achieved. Each girl begins the game with two hearts. If a girl manages to get seven hearts then she wins the game while falling to zero hearts means she loses the game.
