Years after the events of "Wraith", a young girl named Lily, has a chance encounter with someone familiar. Following that, she soon finds herself stranded in a strange place with nary a soul in sight. As she struggles to gain her bearings, a voice echoes inside her head. It is the World Tree, telling her to seek out her memories from long ago...

This is the second chapter in the storyline of Wraith. Please play Wraith first before attempting this game. The total length of Sainth is about 1-2 hours.

Unfortunately, it's not as good :(. It was mostly just to test out how feasible it was to make a side-scroller style game in RPG Maker, so it's more for the atmosphere and story (which takes a really solemn serious turn).

Still, at least you don't have to worry about the wraith popping out from nowhere and taking a week or two off your life :P.


Not gonna let me live it down, eh? And it's awesome so far into the gameplay!

Oh, and by the way...?
Several parts of this thing were freaking creepypasta material, man. Creepy as heck. At one point, I even got so into the story I had to cap my hand over my mouth not to scream and freakout my housemates because there was a part I was anticipating.

Apart from a very spelling and punctuation mistakes, and the last few scenes being long (maybe shoudld have been broken up a bit, or at least given us a text speed-up option), the game rocked. Lots of detail. May have worked better as a comic or story than a game, but there's some dramatic parts that the music and tension just made. The art's better, too. I've only gotten the bad ending so far (Curse you, you tear-jerker scene creator!!), but I'm ready for another go. ^-^

Haha, glad to hear you enjoyed it. Though to be honest, I'm not sure I like the direction I went with this. I had another idea for the sequel that followed the gameplay style of the first Wraith a lot better (which I think I touch on in the Afterword). Sometimes I wish I had gone with that idea.

Downloaded your game, very beautiful up to now! playing the tutorial : can't jump? (When I hold shift, i run and stop in front of the gap.)
I can't figure out how to get the good ending for the life of me. I've seen all the messages and searched every inch of the Icy Tower, but to no avail.


I assume that the final message saying that Kana buried something with Lily is the hint...but I can't figure out how I can possibly find it... I've checked the World Tree, the Crypt, and, as I said, the Icy Tower, but nothing...is it in the Shrine?


Edit: Never mind, I found it. Also, I'm an idiot. >_< The ending was nice, though very, very bizarre. The game really felt like a complete departure from the first game in both gameplay and story. It's a pity you're never going to complete the trilogy or make the alternative timeline game, but oh well. I suppose it ended pretty conclusively.
Thanks for playing. Yeah, tbh I still have regrets with not going with my original plan. But then again, the fact that I got this far at all is already amazing to me.
I'm happy you did take the direction you took with this game! It's eerie, subtle and well written. Beleve it or not, a good story and atmosphere is (and was )in utmost demand! And I prefer this game to any of you other projects, that's for damn sure!
P.S. Play Sainth before playing Wraith or better yet- skip Wraith all together!
Wraith ruins the entire experience of Sainth and Wraith isn't even that good!
uuh... i stuck after found three memories :( can anyone gives full walkthrough? Thanks :D

Talk to all people in the cave(leftmost from the tree), go to assylum (where you found the second) push the square right and go right all the way until a dead end, talk to the ghost(sainth), look at the bush(to get some barries), and go back to the people and talk to them again. :-)
thanks Sagara-san :D now i'm stuck at
finding the person who had the artifact. the sainth said he/she was at the west, but i'm not sure where he/she was

He HAD the artifact! Until YOU took it(2nd one)! Hint:
Just climb the stairs, read the tablets(hints on how to get the secret ending:-))get to the top, get artifact and remember about the puddle(your next objective)! :-)
okay, so..
i had missed the stairs that lead to the last piece of memories before
^ ^; but after i read the tablet (just the 2nd one because the another were illegible), i get a bad end because after that i straightly run to the cold world. Is there anything I have to do first before I jump into the cold world? Should I go to the purple pond/crypt? Then what I've to do there?


many many thanks Sagara-san :D You're really so kind

Wrong! The all the tablets are legable, it's just part of the puzzles!
To get to the good(secret end) you need to solve all three puzzles that the tablets describe! Start with the 3rd: go to the crypt, right of the save point(where you enter)in the third column, drop down to the bottom, thre is a hole, drop down it and watch the scene. 2nd: go to assylum, move the square rock under the broken stained glass, stand on rock, enter, watch scene, 1st: go to shrine, talk to right most sainth(if you didn't), go to ice tower, talk to the sainth(left of the one that mentioned about the 2nd artifact), go to asylum, after the save piont go take the left door, there are stairs on the left, check the grave at the top(the rest is obvious, but just in case, go to the place where the sainth in the shrine is and turn left and climb a few platforms and you'll see the door! :-), watch the scene.) Go back tothe cold world, go down and watch the secret (good) ending! :-)
i've tried...
and finally get the good end!!/hide]

sorry for troubling you... ^ ^;

You also have to examine world tree (press up and z one space to the left of save/teleport point to get the necessary item for the ending in case you weren't paying attention)

random thoughts

hmm the characters seem pretty stupid...if she was taken away by a secret group and was gone for 3 years...you'd assume she was killed...
even if she wasn't and even if you didn't find her in that state saying it would be a good thing she remembers what was done to her is just going full retard...obviously its better that she doesn't remember what horrible things were done to her...

wow...kana was her best friend right? lilys pretty scummy to say but i had plans with my boyfriend...fuck you lily i cant believe you...something infinitely more important then your boring relationship is happening here :/

lily seriously has the gul to think about kanas emotional needs right after that!? wow!

if you scroll down in the save screen the graphics glitch like crazy!

it seems if you go left...you cant stuck in the caves no way out >.>

this games pretty terrible...how much wandering do i have to do before i obtain item to do something or a cutscene giving some story >.>

lilys...such a annoying character...i hope she dies in this :/

fusion with a wraith? how do you even go about capturing a wraith? they have no physical body!

theres no save point in the west cave after the scene after you give the explosives to the miners >.>
also no hint to what to do...no new items...more pointless wandering >.>

whats with the retarded old man story >.> i mean really? this is lame!

why isn't the shrine a shift location (actually realized i could even use this feature pretty late >.>)
also if theres multiple points you should be able to choose which one you warp to!

ok...i cant figure out what to do after getting 6 memories and seeing 2 ghost kanas...im done...


honestly...this was a pretty bad game.i hated the characters and the mostly mindless exploration trying to figure out what your supposed to do.
and occasionally the climbing decides to be a bit grimy.

Overall
in my case it was quite a unpleasant experience i don't recommend

p.s
this still needs a full walkthru.
How in the world I missed this one? Gonna download it next day, 'cause I'm too wasted now.

author=Neok
so it's more for the atmosphere and story (which takes a really solemn serious turn).

So what? I play most games for the story, but having some gameplay there won't hurt. Recently I finished two Kojima's hidden gems - Snatcher and Policenauts, and while both have little actual gameplay and linear plot (no branching storylines you'd expect in most VNs), these games were worth my time - because of the story. So will Sainth, I assume.

Yeah, I'm quoting a comment from 2011, duh. What the hell, I had to.

eeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh it's an okay story i guess. probably better to play it while wasted.
Wait...you mean to tell me that this game didn’t get featured until just recently…!? Huh... I always thought that it did a long time ago…but I guess not.

Anyways, it was a nice surprise to see this game on the front page for this month’s featured spot. I remember playing this game a LONG TIME AGO…back during the Gamingw.net days, and I always preferred it more to its predecessor, considering that this one dropped the confusing - but very ambitious for its time - four directional encounter system to something a bit more straightforward. Heck, for its time period, I remember people being really impressed with the 2D exploration sections that Neok used the exact same method again in, arguably, his best work in Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis, so that's something.

Anyways...congrats on getting the featured spot, Neok (...wherever you are...)
