"High hourly wage, short hours, same-day payment"
\n \u2014But there was more to that clinical trial job.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It's been over a year since the "clinical trial" held at Ikebukuro PARCO disappeared.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stage moves to PARCO_ya Ueno, with a new venue and a new cast.
\n The immersive suspense game "Theft of the Medicine," which takes you on a journey, is starting up again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will you choose the reward, or the hidden truth?<\/strong>

Once again, your "stolen drugs" will drive the story forward.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Parco Co., Ltd. and Sally Co., Ltd. will be presenting their jointly produced immersive suspense experience, "Toyaku Jiraku," at PARCO_ya Ueno from Friday, August 28th to Wednesday, September 30th, 2026.<\/p>\n

This production is an immersive entertainment experience that was held at Ikebukuro PARCO in April 2025, with all 1,135 performances selling out. This time, the stage moves to PARCO_ya Ueno, and the story will be presented with a new cast.<\/p>\n

This project marks the first joint venture between PARCO GAMES, the game business development division of PARCO Co., Ltd., and Sally Co., Ltd. (Uzu Production) since investment by the "JFR MIRAI CREATORS Fund."<\/p>\n

What is the immersive suspense game "Theft of the Medicine"?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

"Touyaku Jiraku" is an approximately 90-minute immersive suspense experience set in a real-life commercial facility, where the story progresses through conversations with characters and the choices made by the participants themselves.<\/p>\n

Participants will take part in the story as subjects who have applied to participate in a clinical trial.
\n I was led to a room. Doctors and staff members appeared before me. They offered me an unknown "medicine."
\n The information participants learn and the way they perceive the story will change depending on the words they exchange with the characters and the decisions they make on the spot.<\/p>\n

Where does reality end and fiction begin? Enjoy a thrilling and immersive experience where the story begins as an extension of everyday life, and the boundaries between reality and fiction gradually become blurred.<\/p>\n

The main scenario is written by Shiroku Mikazaki, who has worked on immersive suspense games such as "Tosou," a touring game created in collaboration with Tokyo Metro, and murder mysteries such as "Lost\/Remembrance" and "Ry\u016bnen."<\/p>\n

We offer an experience unlike traditional theater or mystery-solving, through staging that utilizes real-world spaces and meticulously crafted storytelling.<\/p>\n

This event presents the same story as "Toyaku Jiraku," which was held at Ikebukuro PARCO in April 2025, but with a new venue and cast. The story changes depending on the actions of the participants and their interactions with the characters (cast), so it can be enjoyed again and again.<\/p>\n

Features of this work<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u2460 An experience in a real commercial facility where reality and fiction become blurred.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

While walking around the PARCO_ya Ueno building during business hours, you will repeatedly engage in one-on-one conversations with the characters (cast).
\n Because the story unfolds seamlessly with everyday life, blending in with the general public,
\n You can enjoy an extraordinary experience where you are drawn into a grand story while witnessing the familiar scenery of everyday life.<\/p>\n

\u2461 A premium experience for a maximum of 4 people per group.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Each group can have a maximum of four people, and you will not be seated with participants from other groups.
\n In this premium experience conducted exclusively within your own group, the characters (cast) and participants engage in dialogue, broadening the scope of your interpretation of the story.
\n The game is designed to be enjoyable even for those who aren't particularly good at deduction or puzzle-solving, so beginners can participate with confidence.<\/p>\n

\u2462 A multi-ending experience guided by close interaction with the cast.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In this work, you will repeatedly engage in dialogue with the characters (cast) in various scenes.
\n "What should we ask them, and what should we think about them?"
\n Your deductions and judgments directly influence the story, and your actions will change the narrative. Therefore, even those who have experienced it once can enjoy it again and again.<\/p>\n

Synopsis<\/strong><\/span> <\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Suddenly, a job posting appeared offering "high hourly wage, short hours, and same-day payment."<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enticed by the alluring words, you head to PARCO_ya Ueno.
\n After checking in, I was guided to the "clinical trial center."<\/p>\n

What was placed in front of me was an unknown "medicine."<\/p>\n

"Please, have a drink."<\/strong><\/p>\n

The moment you follow your doctor's instructions, the world quietly begins to "shift out of sync."<\/p>\n

This is a suspense story experienced in a real place, with real people and a real [redacted].
\n Will you be able to bring back "\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0" safely?<\/p>\n

Your "drug theft" will drive the story forward.<\/p>\n
