Who is the liar? You will also be at the mercy of the tumultuous plot twists ― non-stop twisted entertainment that easily overturns your own preconceptions! New graduate recruitment for the remarkable growth entertainment company "Spiralinks." The task given to the six job-seeking students who made it to the final selection was to form a team and do a group discussion within one month. In order to obtain job offers for everyone, the six students deepened their interactions with each other, but just before the final stage, a change in the task was notified. That is "to determine one job offer recipient from among the six people." The six people, who were supposed to be comrades, have become rivals, competing for the same seat. Amidst the progressing discussion over the job offer, six envelopes with each person's name are discovered. When one of those envelopes was opened, it contained an accusation stating "●● is a murderer." And one by one, the "true identities" of the six people are revealed. Their lies and sins. And what is the purpose of the "culprit?"

Reviews
Interesting context and 1st half, weaker in its conclusion
This movie features a different kind of mystery locked-room, since as stated in its title, it involves 6 lying university going through a quite crazy (and highly competitive) hiring screening process.There were enough characters and twists to make it interesting while remaining quite focused on a central mystery. If the first half was really good with all the build up to get into the locked-room and the locked-room aspect working pretty well in itself, the overall conclusion and morale was a bit on the weak side. The societal criticism felt lacking as the cycle seemed to be repeating at the end. The motivation of the actions of one of the character felt poorly explained to try to patch everything together in a clunky manner.
Production-wise, it was good enough to make every aspect of the events happening in the locked-room clear, except for the conclusive ones which were lacking (mostly because of the writing). Acting-wise, it was solid. Each member of the cast manage to play very well the bright and darker side of their characters' personalities.
I would recommend this to people that enjoy locked-room mystery. It is a bit different from the usual ones as the context of the screening hiring interview makes it a rather unusual flavor. However, the writing is weaker in the second half which, coupled with an average pacing, tempered my enjoyment of the movie.
