About This Work
The main character is the player, who has become a member of the Hinanda family.
To be ready for a disaster that could strike at any time, the player stocks up on disaster-preparedness items that will help with evacuation.
One day, a mysterious monster appears from the sea. The shock of its appearance fills the town with rubble and smoke.
The goal is to use the items you’ve prepared to head for the evacuation shelter on the hill as fast as you can. Every second counts!
Separate from the main game, there’s also a mini-game where you can take on a disaster-preparedness quiz.
You can compete for the fastest time to clear all 10 questions and aim for the top of the quiz leaderboard.
The disaster-preparedness items and evacuation actions in the game are based on information from the Fire and Disaster Management Agency, the Japan Meteorological Agency, and the Japanese government’s public relations website.
This story is a work of fiction.

Behind the Scenes
A boy who loved games grew up, became a DENSO employee, and made a game for the DENSO MURAN Software Challenge Contest.
In March 2026, while he was thinking about what kind of game to make, he happened to see a special program about the Great East Japan Earthquake. It got him wondering whether he could make something that would help with disaster preparedness, something that would let adults and children alike learn about it while enjoying a game. And so he created this work on instinct.
I created an "Adult Mode" and a "Kids Mode" so that adults and children can each think about disaster preparedness from their own point of view.
In Adult Mode, you play while thinking about "what preparations are needed to protect your family"; in Kids Mode, you play while thinking about "what disaster preparation means."
By experiencing the same content from different points of view, I hoped players would understand disaster preparedness from different angles and that it would spark family conversations about being prepared.
Another feature of this work is that when parents play Kids Mode, they can think concretely about what preparations to encourage their children to make and what to tell them.
What’s more, after you clear the game, it explains the role and use of each disaster-preparedness item you bought in the game.
I designed it so that you not only enjoy the game but also deepen your understanding of disaster preparedness.
Now, at a time when disasters are happening frequently around the world, I hope as many people as possible will try this game and that it becomes a chance for families to think about disaster preparedness together.
