A new tendency is keeping Japanese teenagers busy in front of their computers. This time is about a "game" named Hitori Kakurenbo. The game consists on stuffing a doll or teddy bear with rice and other items and then tying it. After this logistics are done, there comes a kind of ritual in which the toy receives someones name and a task, the performer should then hide to avoid being haunted. However, after some students at a local Tokyo school start to disappear, a teacher decides to investigate what the game is all about; but, she becomes more involved in the game which happens to be even scarier than she could have thought.
