I've always had a fascination with the occult; you might even call it my specialty. I've been brought in as a consultant on many supernatural and strange mysteries. But nothing could have prepared me for this house. It seemed so ordinary at first, except for that one room. It had no doors, no windows, and was tucked away, leaving anyone to think it was just a wall. I knew that there was something more to it. It shouldn't be there, it shouldn't exist, and yet... Just what is this house, and...

Two years after the Katabuchi family incident, I find myself back at Kurihara's, eleven new floor plans in hand. At first glance, the houses seem completely unrelated, yet we can't deny that something uncanny connects them. One thing in particular stands out--a hallway that leads to nowhere. Could this be the key that unlocks the mystery of these eleven new strange houses?

We paid Yuzuki's mother a visit and learned all about the Katabuchi family's dark past. The truth horrified us, but the family's haunting tale is still being spun. The ritual known as the "left-hand memorial service" binds them to this day, but Keita is determined to save Ayano--even if it means risking his own life...

As Yuzuki and I investigate the Katabuchi family home, our unease grows. What dark secrets has her family been hiding? The mysteries deepen, but at least one has been solved: the identity of You-chan's murderer. Yet that is only the beginning of the strange, disturbing truth...

The deeper I dig into the mystery of these strange houses, the more disturbing things get. Miyae-san's theories about the Saitama House were plenty chilling on their own, but with Kurihara's help, I've come to realize she's only scratched the surface of its secrets--literally. Why did it have a secret basement? And was it really used--as Kurihara suspects--as a morgue?Also adapted into a horror film called The Floor Plan!

Yuzuki is not who she claimed to be. I now know that her sister lived in the Tokyo house, but this murder mystery is far from solved. In fact, it's only getting stranger and more disturbing. After Yuzuki tells Kurihara and me about the tragedy that occurred just a week before her sister's disappearance, I realize there's only one path forward--we must visit the house where her cousin was murdered.
