Sakagami Shuuichi, a member of the school newspaper, is asked to gather information about the school's seven mysteries. He meets with six other students after school to listen to their stories. This game is a visual novel adaption of the two novels "Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi" written by [url=https://vndb.org/s11627]Iijima Takeo[/url], published by Aspect inside the Logout Bouken Bunko label, and released around the same time as the Super Famicom game [url=/v745]Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi[/url]. As such, it has the same characters but different stories. It is Apathy Series's first work whose epicenter is Narugami Gakuen. Being a doujin game not published by Nintendo, its plot is far more violent than the SFC game. The original release features the novels' content with no branches, and an additional scenario called "Emi-chan no Sakagami-kun Kansatsu Nikki" (Emi-chan's Sakagami Observation Diary), which has height different endings. It is, so to speak, a prelude to the main story of [url=/v747]Apathy - Midnight Collection ~Vol. 1~[/url], "Emi-chan no Satsujin Club Kansatsu Nikki" (Emi-chan's Murder Club Observation Diary). With the permission of [url=/p227]Banpresto[/url], the game used [url=/v745]Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi[/url]'s OST, after rearranging it. Different versions were later released which added, replaced or removed content.

Apathy - Midnight Collection ~Vol. 1~ is an alternate retelling of the horror VN [url=/v745]Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi[/url]. Additional scenarios and art were eventually added to the original in 2007 to make [url=/v746]Apathy - Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi ~Visual Novel Version~[/url], followed by a final version S that added further scenarios the following year. Apathy - Midnight Collection ~Vol. 1~ is comprised of three stories. Emi’s Murder Club Observation Diary is the main story of Midnight Collection 1, which chronicles the adventures of a psychopathic schoolgirl and her attempts not to be assassinated by the school’s Murder Club. The Following Dog is a far more down-to-earth horror story. It revolves around the legend of a dog who will eat you if you look back on your journey. Scratches on the Pillars rounds the collection off with a very evocative, artistic story. It's extremely short and is completely linear.
