Plot:
On a very snowy and dark morning, Yuuki Shinozaki, a shy middle schooler, was preparing for her trip to a farewell party of her school...but an unfortunate tragedy happened. When Yuuki was helping her friend, Taiga, to look for his lost handphone, she was taken mysteriously to a lost, dark dimension where a big, mysterious mansion existed. Yuuki didn't know...that this is all just the beginning of her NIGHTMAREs in THE SNOWy and freezing night...

This game is heavily inspired by Fatal Frame (sets in a mansion.) It is recommended to play this game in a dark room with headphones attached at night. Remember that when you're lost, try examining everything as this is a story-and-exploration based game ;)

Gameplay features:
-3:00 to 5:00 hours of normal gameplay, and about 1:30 to 2:00 hours on NewGame+ speedrun
-Stamina system
-Unique deaths
-Seven endings, with one ending being canon among them
-etc

The main characters of the game are:
YUUKI, a shy middleschooler.

TAIGA, a somewhat coward but reliable guy. He got crush on Yuuki.

KAYAKO, an extremely tomboy & tsundere girl.

I just watched a LP of the first chapter only, couldn't play the game well due to lag(I didn't think my computer would be lagged even on RM games... that lighting script...), but I still got some issues to ask about. First of all, the master of Kirihara "kamon", who was a samurai which lived from later 19th century to early 20th century... In that time, Japan already had total mordenization, called Meiji Ishin in middle of 19th century. So in his life time, there was no actual samurai, no actual shogun. What left are just the sprits and historical records even then. I suggest adjust the years of events in the Kirihara's.
Also, why do you use Japanese word directly into alphabet, as if they are un-translatable foreign word? Back to the yuurei-san at mirror scene, Yuuki said 'yuurei', instead of 'ghost', or 'sprit'. Though this game takes place in Japan, and the protagonist and other characters are Japaneses, the game language is English. So why don't you avoid bring Japanese words directly?

However, the game itself was great. I'm looking forward of the full version of game. Just keep going!
well, i intentionally keep the traditional style because not all clan in Japan during that time was willing to modernize themselves. The Kirihara family is among them.
The "Yuurei" is to shorten the word "vengeful spirit" and I don't like the word "ghost" or "spirit" because they don't sound evil.
By the way, thanks for the support! :D

Umm, thanks to reply me, but still curious about yuurei, you mean 幽霊, right? It just means ghost. Diffrent from onrei怨霊, which actually means 'vengeful/malicious ghost'.

Well, onryo is more often used towards sadako-like entity...and that's how I differ it from yuurei :D

It's not the end yet :)
There's still two chapters left to be done!
But here's a few tips to get a good end:
-Make sure that you don't do anything bad
-Win the fight in chapter 3
Okay I'll try it, Looking forward to the next chapters

This game seems nice, I'll try it out
I just want to say, this scared the hell out of me, great job. I had to run out of my room and take a breather just to continue on with this game.
But the one problem I had was, the characters are just so basic and unoriginal, it really bugged me because it was a really nice game with a nice story and nice pixel graphics but....The characters are also very important, and it's vital they're original in their own way.
I hope you don't take my criticism the wrong way, because I truly love this game!

I noticed that too about the characters being unoriginal, especially Kayako and Yukiko. Both are characters that I created using a character from another game as a reference (Seiko from Corpse and Kirie Himuro from Fatal Frame respectively).

But at least they fit in the story, right? :D

Thanks for the critic, by the way. I really appreciate it!
The game is really good.The atmosphere really reminded me of Fatal Frame. I just play through Chapter 0 and found some minor bugs though.I hope you will fix them but well it's just a minor so I don't really mind that much. You should focus on your current work.

I'm looking forward to the full version.
hi, i dont know if you gonna see this suggestion
but I will put it here anyway

for most time while I am searching in the game, there is totally no music in background. I can only here some sound effects which are repeating all the time.
And I have to say it makes this game boring.
but still your game is awesome. If you would like to put more BGM at searching area.
It would make your game better :)
