The game is a fan-game based on the Metal Slug series. It takes assets from the games for most of its graphics. The game is more simple than the original series. You get dropped into a horizontal level and need to survive as long as possible in order to get a high score. An endless amount fo soldiers will appear, as well as helicopters. If you shoot down a helicopter, it will take some time for another to appear. P.O.W.s appear in the level, and an arrow will show you in which direction the next P.O.W. is. Freeing one will give you an item, like a stronger weapon, grenades or health. Unlike normal Metal Slug games, you have a health bar. Scoring enough points will increase your rank. Once you reach a certain rank, you unlock another level.

Since the customers get more and more anxious to get to the residence, you finally decide to lead everyone to the villa yourself, using a map. However, you get lost in a forest you have to go through. The forest is called "The forest which eats people" and "The forest without return". Close before dawn, you suddenly come about an old yet beautiful mansion which lies deep within the forest. Since everyone is tired and there is barely a chance to reach your actual destination before nightfall, you ask to stay a night at the mansion. A mysterious, yet not unfriendly old man opens and readily agrees to your bidding. However, you cannot shake the feeling that there is something very odd and frightening about this place. It doesn't help that the mansion has no phone and your mobile no connection...
