Latest Version uploaded on 30th Jan, 2014. Some minor changes have been made so that you don't need to change your system locale for text :)

"My name is Shimoda Shimoko, currently living in a small village protected by the God named The Ou. Villagers are here required to bring offerings to the God every day in exchange for the God's protection. It's heard that if anyone broke this rule or ate the offering, the village would be attacked by the evil spirits and devastated in the end. But no one has ever done that so no one knows if that is real. I guess that is just a very old rumour, old enough to be forgotten by the God himself maybe. Oops, did I mention that today it's my family's turn to provide offerings? I'd better go now..."

In this game, the player is going to play the role of the main character, Shimoda Shimoko, solve puzzles and get to know the entire story bit by bit. This game was created using Wolf RPG Editor which is one of the most popular game engines in Japan. Though this game was first released in Japanese in 2012, I hope that more people can enjoy the fun (or horror? ^w^) of my game. That's why we initiated this project and we hope it can serve its purpose. Have fun! :)

The game is available for downloading now :D No extra patch/software/etc. needed to start the game but make sure you have your MS Gothic and Arial Black fonts in your computer. If you have both fonts but the text just doesn't look right (text out of box, blank menu, etc.), you may want to try the following steps: Go to Control Panel >> Clock, Language, and Region >> Region and Language >> Administrative >> Change system locale >> Japanese The text should then appear correctly.

Any inquiry, you may email me at akemitan_kona@yahoo.co.jp or tweets me @outkataoka
or drop me a message at my homepage http://121221212.at.webry.info/

みんなプレイして、どうぞ。ハイ！ヨロシクゥ！

Please refrain from double, triple, quadruple, quintuple or other posting. The only time double posts are feasible is if more than a few days have passed (at the least, four) or if there's a good reason for it within the bounds of a thread (in the case of a game thread in the Welp forum or adding a separate part to an event topic).
Otherwise, edit your post to include the new information you want to add. This is a site rule.

The in game menu screens are all blank. I checked my fonts and I have the two you required, but I still can't read the options and have to guess where the items are when I need to use one.
I had the same problem, to fix it you have to go to the control panel-->language and change the option which say language of no unicode programs to japanese.
Hope I put all the names in right because my computer is in spanish.

I understood enough to know what problem to search for. Game's working great now. Thanks!

Ok I am close to posting the link as I type this. As for the game text, if you want I could help you out. Once I finish the game, I will watch my vids for all the text and rewrite it to proper English. Awesome so far by the way. really enjoying all the scares.

This is the first time I have heard of this game. Seems great so far, maybe I'll even go to check the original version later.

No need you are a master at horror and I can't wait to see even more. I won't give anything away, just that everyone should play this once.

Some of the graphics I'm seeing in the images here look amazingly like stuff I've seen in RPG Maker 2K/2K3 games. I'm not necessarily saying that this isn't made in a custom engine, or that you're doing something wrong, but it does strike me as odd.

Or, I'm just plain ~~insane~~ worried over nothing. That's a possibility.

Hey just watched your play through and found that the text didn't appear correctly in ur pc. I just added the possible solution to that problem in the game description. You may want to check it out :)

Good luck and ..... ya, ENJOY~

I tried the language thing but it didn't work.
But that's fine with me as it's very easy to know where your items are once you get them so I'm happy with them just not showing up.

Also, I've just finished recording the third part of the walkthrough. And my god.
I underestimated how scary this game was actually going to be. It's terrifying!

Out of sheer curiosity (or whatever you want to call it), I tried playing this game. Maybe I'm missing something really, really obvious, but, I can't seem to get very far at all. I doubt I'm spoiling anything, but, just in case, I put where I am in the hide-tag below.

Show

I get as far as the blat that says, "Villagers here believe that the Ou lives in this house. Since the Ou is like a god who protects the village, the villagers take turns to bring their offerings here every day. Today, it is my family's turn."

Pressing "Enter"/"Z"/space bar when facing the door doesn't do anything. Doing the same on the offering box doesn't seem to do a heck of a lot either. I dunno, I'm probably missing something terribly, terribly obvious, seeing that people have successfully played beyond this point.

*Edit: I'm an idiot. Never mind.
