Hopefully that helps answer the question.

The name sticks for only one brief moment, though – it goes back to being nameless in the following battle. It was released on July 3, 2008, in Japan. The game follows a university student who becomes cursed by the titular role-playing game, which causes people to die in seven days upon starting.
