• Illustration — An in-game screenshot of Ken and Yuki speaking with a Riot Police Unit officer, who tells them to use the blue sedan in front of them to escape a Legion swarm; the player can choose whether or not Ken and Yuki will use the sedan. The game is set in the fictional Ichi City in Japan, which is attacked by mysterious giant monsters called kyoei ("giant shadows"). The player can choose between two player characters—a man named Ken Misaki or a woman named Miharu Matsuhara (the character may be renamed)—with the objective being to try to escape Ichi City with their partner Yuki. After witnessing a deal between yakuza, they must also escape a hitman who pursues them across the city. During their escape, the player learns more about Yuki's past and her connection to the kyoei.

• Takuya Sato as Ken Misaki • Satomi Akesaka as Miharu Matsubara • Reina Ueda as Yuki Kouno • Ryōta Takeuchi as Hideyasu Otsuka • Yuko Kaida as Risa Kashiwagi • Minoru Kawai as Ryoji Shibata • Toru Nara as Katsuhiro Muto • Madoka Shiga as Toru Fujiwara

The objective of Kyoei Toshi is to survive the giant monsters or mechas encountered in the 17 levels of the game.
