Foreword
A horror survival game set in Japan made with the RPG Maker VX. The Haunted World, inspired by the wonderful Corpse Party (and because of this, has many mature aspects), features different endings and will be released in chapters. The game features a more visual-novel like gameplay, but it is also filled with puzzles and minigames. However, the main aspect are the many choices you need to make throughout the game. One wrong move could be your last.
Features
* A visual-novel type of gameplay. Find items, solve puzzles and choose wisely! The next choice could be your last...
* Completely self-made tiles
* Maps done the parralaxing way
* Character portraits in cutscenes and character icons during gameplay
* Different character outfits
* Many chapters to unlock
* Many chapter endings - different wrong ends and one true end in every chapter
* A story that sucks you into the abyss of hell itself - don't believe what you are told, nobody said ghosts tell the truth...
* A bunch of minigames
Story
It's not easy living a normal life - at least, not for Hisao. He's sick to the very core. Cancer isn't a regular problem you have to face. But for Hisao, it's the norm. It isn't fair that he has to suffer while his best friend Priam get's everything he wants. Good looks, all the girls and a healthy, normal life. Everyone of his friends has a normal life. Except him, of course. And it's only getting worse. Wearing a wig? No problem! Knowing you will die in less than six months? That's another matter.
It's almost as if Hisao feels ghostly already, but he doesn't want to vanish so soon. He still has a lot of things to do. Not only will he die in less than a year - fate is a cruel game the demons love to play. And fate just decided for Hisao that no one can escape death. Not even those he thinks are indestructible.
What's even worse is that he can suddenly see all of those that are long gone. And then there's that promise one of the demons gave him...
World
The World of The Haunted World: Hell's Gate is split into three seperate dimensions.
"Real World" - Our Dimension: This is the dimension, the world that we know. The dimension we are living in. "Real World" is a strong word, but it's what fits best. We aren't able to see anything from the other dimensions, but we can interact with them, in a way. Have you ever tried writing a letter to a ghost? It's possible!
"The Otherrealm" - The Soul Dimension: Every dead soul that can't pass on finds their new home in the Otherrealm, a dimension that looks exactly like ours, but has entirely different rules. For once, ghosts don't need doors. Never try to open one, it won't budge. Souls and ghosts in the Otherrealm are able to see everyone in the "Real World". They can interact with them, despite not being seen by them. They are also able to interact with everyone in "Hell's Gate", however, they aren't able to see souls that are trapped in there.
"Hell's Gate" - The Dimension of Hell: "Hell's Gate" is, literally, the gate to hell. Once stuck in "Hell's Gate" you won't be able to return. Only people that lost their soul, have a black heart or sold their soul will be transported to "Hell's Gate", where they have to wait for judgement. Spirits in "Hell's Gate" are able to see everyone from every other dimension - however, they can only interact with spirits in "The Otherrealm". Not a single soul trapped in "Hell's Gate" is able to hurt someone from the "Real World". "Hell's Gate" is a twisted dimensions without any color but the one that represents fire.

Sounds great ^_^
Yeah! I have to figure out a few things first and practice drawing certain backgrounds, but what I CAN tell so far is that the complete in-game style (gameplay and all) will be re-made. The only thing that will stay are the character portraits and CG's. =)

"inspired by the wonderful Corpse Party" SO HYPED.
(Just read the summary. EVEN MORE HYPED XD)
Haha, thank you! You can play the demo, though it is pretty old and totally not up to my standards anymore. Stay tuned, because I will work on this project again soon. =)
author=Schwer-von-Begriffauthor=creepygirllexThe game is currently on a hiatus, due to a friend of mine having cancer. Said friend only learned about it a few months ago - the project is on hold ever since. As soon as he gets better I will start working on it again, though. It's just too much to work on a game about cancer when cancer itself is present in your very own circle of friends.
Has the full version been released yet? If not, does anybody know a release date or even an estimated release date? I really loved the demo so I look forward to the full game c:
I hope everything works out for your friend, he'll be in my prayers c:
Um, im stuck on a part.....i cant seem the find the key to the locked door, where the girl is.....can anyone give me any hints?

I was actually going to e-mail you to ask if this project was still active.
Tough break, Schwer. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I feel for you. My mom's got cancer too.
Anyway, hope you're well!

A SHORT REVIEW (from the DEMO)
- GRAPHICS -
The surrounding was too dark (I know and it'd be normal for a horror game to have some dark surrounding, but please adjust the brightness, some spots aren't very clear to see anymore and it will be time consuming if you let the player interact every object.(unless if you really did it on purpose) And please adjust the uhm "highlights" in the menu(?) and when saving(?), I guess? It's hard to see if we're pointing on the right "text" we gonna click on.
- MUSIC/ART -
SFX, it lacks SFX. Please add some. It's a horror game and it would really be great if you put some effort adding SFX/BGM ;) It's not that scary at all, although it had some horror elements (because of the darkness(?) and the player can see ghosts(?)I LOVE THE ART!
- GAME PLAY -
The Side(?) Quests was all right. Kinda unique! I love it! You got a great idea adding some side quests to help progress the game!
Dialogue, it needs to be checked. Spellings, grammatical errors and etc. ;)
( And there's something funny in the DEMO ^^, )
|| Priam gets into Hisao's Room, I entered Hisao's room and found Priam there after a little convo Priam then walks outside which leads in the balcony(?) and when I followed, Priam isn't there anymore. And a thought came to Hisao that maybe he should check on Priam in the cafe downstairs, so does it mean Priam jumped down from the balcony(?) ^^,
- STORY -
I'm not fond of judging the book by it's cover, I just played the DEMO so...maybe my short review ends here? And obviously the story is about sickly(?) people? ^^,

author=Schwer-von-Begriffauthor=ZealconisAhh, I was under a lot of stress during the last few months and had to make some decisions. The biggest change (that I will announce properly in the next few days) would be that I will re-make the whole game in RPG Maker VX Ace, as this will make a lot of things easier for me. This project isn't dead, though! =)
I suggest that you should post an update maybe once in a while(?) :)
Thank you for the update! HAHA! ;) GREAT LUCK, your work would be great for sure! ;)

I've played the first version of the demo and it seems that you have a fix up, so I'd reserve my comments until I finish that one.
But I have to say these two main issues though:
As I've said, I'll play through the fixed version first.
I'll be back soon :D
But I have to say these two main issues though:
- It was too dark. I know you turned the lights off for ambience, but I seriously had a hard time seeing anything. This could be just me, but still...
- The transitions between the rooms is a bit slow. Mind if you speed it up a bit?
As I've said, I'll play through the fixed version first.
I'll be back soon :D

I'm going to record the demo, then the full version when it is released. Hope I get some more people your way.
should of commented earlier,the screen shots are great
gotta love custom models and sprites!
the art work for the characters is good as well
(i wish i had drawing talent! gwar!)
eventually ill get around to trying this :3 and give feedback when i do
but honestly it will most likely be quite a while as i generally play them in abc order and there alot in ma folder :3
so til then :3

@Hope: That could actually work way better than diabetes would...I might as well change it into lung problems. Would work better in-game as well. Huh...thanks for the idea! And thanks for the links as well. These will definitely come in handy.
I thought it would be a neat idea. I have to do some research first, of course, but I read about very strange diseases a while ago and that inspired me in a pretty cool way. Sadly I haven't, but I will definitely check it out, now that you recommend it!
Yes, that's right. I think everyone needs a compliment once in a while, and I really appreciate the fact that you told me some positive things as well. I worked on this game for a while now, but it took a long time to make/get everything that I need. I'm doing almost everything by myself, after all, so it takes quite some time to finish things. But I try to find a composer sooner or later, so that I can provide my players with original music.
Oh, please, don't apologize! I'd rather be treated like everyone else. I don't want any extra compliments and no one should be extra careful just because I am rather young. I can handle criticism quite well. It stings a little, of course, but that is just natural. It's fine, really. As long as someone does not behave like a total d*ck then everything is alright! And you did not behave like such a person.
Yes, my artist was inspired by TWEWY and I really like the art style of that game, so I was amazed that he could mimic the style so well. It's truly a wonderful art style.
If my writing style is a bit clunky and confusing in certain text boxes in the game, feel free to correct my mistakes. Neither me nor my artist are native english speakers, so it is quite difficult to get everything right.
We can talk through PM's, of course! If there is anything else you have to say that I should correct, then feel free to send me a message. =)

Hmm, if she HAS to have diabetes (with all glitches covered and solid medical information in the game) then a bit of fantasy is acceptable and it becomes acceptable a quest like that (considering that this is a fictitional work and is for gaming) . But keep in mind that there are quite a lot of illnesses that require emergency treatment, like lung problems ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyspnea ), heart problems or an anaphylatic reaction ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaphylaxis ) - you need an alergic trigger to this one, but it can be as simple as an insect bite (or maybe an unknown cause?).
Wikipedia is usually a fairly reliable source, specially the english pages, and you have the source links below, that are usualy from scientific articles (which is 100% reliable medical information).
Oh! A fictitional disease is really cool! It could be a genetic something, since there are milions of genes that could combine in a wrong way all the time, and there are genetic diseases that affect as little as 1 or 2 people in the world, so any insanely weird thingy could be acceptable! Have you ever heard of alexandria's genesis? It's a fake disease but actually very convincing!
It's true! One needs compliments once in a while though! :) Doing something is way more praisable than doing absolutely nothing at all! :) I was a bit way too hasty posting my comment, I didn't even realize I was talking to such a young game developer, so I'm sorry!
And oh wow I just noticed how our icons look alike! Is your game art somehow inspired on The world end with you?
Should we be talking trough PMs?
Welcome!

@Hope: I searched for a while, read through multiple sites. If those sites tell me something that is entirely wrong, then that is not my fault. I read that you can fall into a comatose state...so I based it off of that. I just made it into something that is worse than that...for reasons I cannot state right now. I will surely approach the scene differently in the demo update, but I won't change the dying aspect. Is that alright with you? =)
The chocolate idea isn't even in the game anymore and it only was at a time when Kazuna had other problems. Not this type of diabetes. I also want to include some fictional illnesses that I will throw into the game, so I thought about giving one to Kazuna...but it didn't really work all that well, so I changed that thought. Guess that idea was still stuck in my head when I had the diabetes thought.
No problem! I am always open to criticism. You were indeed a little harsh, but it's nothing that I can't handle. It's better to get some criticism and improve than just sugary compliments that do not help at all. While I won't change everything that you told me, I sure as hell try to improve and change some of the mistakes you pointed out. My beta testers helped me a lot already, but there were some things that I changed which caused other errors - errors that I wasn't aware of. That's why my number 1 priority is to clear those mistakes and make the game a bit more enjoyable by changing some things around.
Thank you! :D
