Enter Misaki - a mysterious girl-next-door type who is Satou's last chance to beat down his inner demons and venture out into the light of day. She's ready to help him overcome his crippling phobias, but Satou would rather cower in his existential foxhole and pretend to work on the demo for his virtual sex game.
