In March of 2002, a seventeen year old girl bursts into a police station in Kitakyushu, Japan, to make a startling report. She tells the authorities about a man, an apartment, and about the people who were brought inside but never made it out alive.

She tells them that the man who orchestrated all of it did not do the killing himself but coerced others do it.  She tells them she is the only one left who can say any of this, because everyone else is dead.   Join your fellow Heinous fans and interact with the team at our website or through our socials (IG, TikTok) @heinous_1upmedia. - Love Heinous?
