When Kaneki hooks survivors for the first time, he also earns a token. Each token earned will block windows and vertical panels for a period of time.

Check out the synopsis:
A sinister threat is invading Tokyo: carnivorous "ghouls" that look identical to humans and blend into the local population. Reserved university student Ken Kaneki buries his nose in books and avoids news of the escalating crisis.
However, the appearance of an attractive woman named Rize Kamishiro shatters his loneliness when she invites him on a date. While walking home with Rize, Kaneki discovers that she is not as kind as she first seemed, and that she took him with sinister intentions.
After a tragic battle, he wakes up in a hospital and discovers that doctors saved his life by transplanting the organs of the now-deceased Rize into his body. Kaneki's body begins to change in horrifying ways, and he transforms into a human-ghoul hybrid.
As Kaneki embarks on his terrifying new journey, he clings to his humanity amidst the escalating bloody conflict between society's new monsters and the government agents hunting them.
