Lost Dimension

JP site - US site

New York City is devastated, having been chosen as the site for a vast structure simply known as the Pillar, apparently the handiwork of a man calling himself The End (no, not the Ancient Sniper). He has set in motion a 13-day countdown with the end of the world at the zero line... and one way to stop it: ascend the Pillar and (presumably) confront him at its apex. Of course there're catches to it aside from the array of tangos and environmental hazards...

• with great power comes the risk of great insanity. Each member of the team has a potent 'gift' (psionic ability?). Overuse of such powers can lead to a berserk state wherein the subject is temporararily unable to distinguish friend from foe);
• keep your friends close, and... well, you get the idea. Some of them aren't, really - but just who those are is for you to discover through investigation. Which brings us to...
• "We will burn our own to hold the red line." On top of everything else, ascending to the next level of the Pillar exacts a price: the group has to pick one of their number to... take the Final Jump. Naturally, this is heavily affected by what trust exists among the members (something that must be worked on, and is of course independent of whether or not the one who'll get the short straw is genuinely... untrustworthy.
