Time-loop Stories

Every time someone in Bangkok listens to an extremely rare 1989 cassette tape labeled only "♡アナタノコエ♡" (Anata no Koe - "Your Voice"), they become trapped in a 72-hour time loop that resets every time to exactly December 2nd, 2023. The only way to break the loop is for the listener to make the person whose voice is secretly recorded on Side B fall in love with them-without ever revealing the existence of the loop. If they fail by the 33rd loop, the tape burns, the listener forgets everything, and the person on Side B dies in an accident that very night.
