The Storyline
The adventure begins at the world-renowned poker resort, Crown Eden, where gifted poker players known as the
Royal Dolls mysteriously awaken. They find themselves in an unfamiliar place, bewildered by the sudden turn of events. A large screen appears before them, announcing a high-stakes poker tournament.
The stakes are incredibly high: the winner can have one of their deepest wishes granted, while the losers face dire and gruesome consequences. This tension-filled narrative unfolds as the Dolls engage in a terrifying game of wits and tactics, exploring themes of ambition, survival, and psychological warfare.
Meet the Characters
- - Raise (CV: Yuuka Hiiragi): A lively personality who easily befriends everyone. Known for her bold plays backed by strong luck, she has quickly become a hot topic in the poker world. "No weaklings if you team up with me! Let's go all in!"
- - Check (CV: Aoi Yuuki): A cautious strategist. Rarely speaks, but her silent observation serves as a powerful strategy. "Being passive? Waiting is a legitimate tactic."
- - Chip: She feeds off desires and dreams of wealth. Often teasing and playful, her unorthodox yet flexible strategies surprise opponents. "I'm your lucky charm! How about I take a cut of your winnings? No? Then..."
- - Ante: The honorable class president type. Slightly clumsy and often faltering in critical moments, yet maintains a regal demeanor. "Before we gamble, let's make sure we fulfill our responsibilities. I'll cover the bets first."
- - Fold: An insecure personality who speaks softly. Comes across as noble, yet somewhat disconnected from reality. "Um... maybe... I should just fold...?"
