Imabikisō (忌火起草 Imabikisō) is a visual novel developed by Chunsoft for the PlayStation 3. It is the first visual novel to be released on a seventh generation console. It was later released for the Nintendo Wii under the title Imabikisō: Kaimei-hen with additional content. The game imagery consists mostly of static or animated photographs, though live-action clips are scattered throughout.[1]
Plot
A new and mysterious drug known as "Vision" has been hitting the streets of Japan, being a hit to the young people, especially to those studying in university. The drug, if and when taken, allows the users to see visions from a user's perspective while being high, created from a mysterious flower called Imabikisō. Players play a university student named Hiroki Makimura, who gets together with fellow student Manami Hayase and a few other students when they heard news reports of students being mysteriously killed with horrific burns on their bodies.
The two later investigate a mansion that's believed to be linked to the drug's creation and to Imabikisō after some of their classmates in university begin to die after taking Vision.

Additional contents were also made available on the PlayStation Store, these were two extra free of charge chapters.[2]
