SHACKLED【REINCARNATING IN A YANDERE SURVIVAL HORROR】

After beating the most difficult yandere-themed dating simulator, a player gets sucked into the game as the villainess, Mizette Karpathia. Furthermore, it's set on [SHACKLED MODE] which is the highest difficulty level of the game. One wrong move, and the player dies or gets imprisoned by the love interest, leading to a restart.

Virulent Love is no longer a dating sim, but a survival-horror sim.

Will Mizette be able to survive in an apocalyptic world with a bunch of yanderes while having an existential crisis at the same time?

Okay, imagine Villainess + Apocalypse + Survival Horror + Yandere + Progression + Whole ton of banter
