You have the power to split the world into half. You can destroy buildings, overturn mountains…
But you are still powerless against a human.
Even a human who wants to kill you.
Hey, isn’t that ironic? Isn’t that funny?
… Why aren’t you laughing, Mika-chan?


Lenine lives in a huge palace as the most trusted servant of Princess Micaiah, the only place of beauty remaining in a desolate, destroyed land. Everything is perfect - the food is good, the job is good, life is good. As long as nobody leaves this palace of salvation, there is no need to dwell on the horrors that lie beyond these walls.

Until one day, a mysterious stranger arrives... to teach these content souls the true price of perfection.

Mica: Apoptosis is a story-based game with horror elements about a web of delusions, a life of blissful ignorance, and the monstrous depravity that human beings can fall to in the name of love and admiration. The gruesome, revolting truth hidden behind the guise of a pretty, charming little lifestyle. Explore the game through three very different main characters with three very different perspectives, and tell your story as you believe it to be.

So powerful, yet so fragile… your life is like a candle, ready to be snuffed between my fingers.
I can slowly strangle you to death, and you can’t even flail to defend yourself.
You’re so funny, Mika-chan.

Main Website

~*~*~*~

Mica: Apoptosis focuses on the experiences of three very stricken people, who are closer than they think, yet vastly different. And when things start changing, they begin their journeys on parallel lines, separated from one another.

Princess Micaiah, who owns a grand castle in the woods, hidden from society;

Lenine, her loyal servant, who is separated from her at the most crucial time and sees the world in a frighteningly different way;

and Himeya Mika, a young girl who chances upon the castle one day, and finds it empty and desolate...

This is their story.

Looks like the game will remain unfinished.

You're magical to me.

I can totally understand the frustration. It's always heartbreaking when a dev abandons a great game.

If you can get in touch with Kirroha and get permission to continue the game, I suppose that's a possibility, but that seems unlikely.

A better idea is to take what you love from this game and use that as inspiration for a new game. Obviously, don't outright copy anything, but if you're really passionate about it and you have the game-making skills, you could certainly bring a spiritual successor to fruition.
No-one is going to take someone else's game and make it without the permission of the creator. That's called stealing and it's not something that is condoned. You'll just have to either wait for the original creator to come back to the game at some point or deal with the fact that it is forever cancelled.
The creator clearly gave up on this amazing work, literally tried to contact him in EVERY possible way and no answer. is anyone else here skilled enough with rpg maker to finish the game, i would love to help as much as i can with story and everything but i wouldnt know how to program everything right. #revivemicaapoptosis

Well, if you follow his tumblr, it said he got done remaking Chapter 4. But he wants to make it as part of a pack with Chapter 5.

So we have to wait for 5 to be done before we'll get the next update.

... Hoo nelly~ I'm hoping for the best though. This game could become legendary..!
wasnt that back in 2017? i mean 2 years for one chapter i dont think he is working on it
Sadly i'll have to agree.The main website and the dev's facebook are deleted so i guess they're not working on it anymore.The game was really interesting though,too bad we won't see the ending.


yeah :( i rly hope someone takes over the game

This game is so good, I hope it continues.
sadly doubt it :(. i tried to contact the developer in every way possible ( mail, forums, official site... ) and no answer
but it was updated yesterday
if you mean the "Date updated:" under date added it also counts comments as updates, if i comment tomorrow it will say it was updated on 27/3/2019, isnt tied to the developer doing anything. i think the developer should have at least informed us that he canceled the project if he is not working on it anymore OR in case he is still working on it he/she should be more active on the forums like this.
okay didn't know that.I'm pretty sure that the dev said that he lost almost all of his files with the progress he'd made and he didn't know if he still wanted to continue with the game.
yeah i heard he lost his files for chapter 4 and 5 but i didnt hear about him not wanting to continue the game, it was a long time ago ( like years ) and i think he or she could have already made them by now, i just wish that the developer would announce if he gave up on game. maybe someone else would like to continue the story

Hi all!

I’m sorry for the lack of responses lately - a month or two ago, I lost all my data from my computer, including the updated versions of Chapter 4-5. It’s really incredibly disappointing and I want to continue working on it, but remaking it will probably take a while. Many people have been asking if there’s been any updates and I’m sorry it took so long for me to tell you all about this, it’s just been a bit of a shock. Nonetheless I’m still hoping to be able to piece some things together and to at least decrypt the version of Chapter 3 I have released so I can continue working on it. Thanks for your patience!
Ah, I just loved this game, so I'm gonna answer the questions, and btw, I really liked the Umineko references ;)

1. What do you think of the game so far?
It's really great ! The gameplay is fun, without being too easy nor too hard (I still needed the walktrough but that's just because I'm stupid).
2. Who are generally your favourite characters, and why?
I really like Mika because she's well developped, and I kinda like Lenine, even if we don't know much about him yet.
3. What are some questions you want answered the most in the full game?
"Is the Goddess real or is a part of Her story real?", "Why do Mika and Micaiah have powers?" and such...
4. What do you predict are answers to these questions?
I can't predict it,but I think there are some parts of the Goddess story that is true, or at least there is something magic because of the presence of the Things.
5. Which characters do you find the most curious or interesting? (Can overlap with #1)
Everyone ? Like, I would like to know more about them.
6. What do you generally think of the story so far?
The story is really intriguing and interesting. I really enjoy the concept.
7. What particular scene(s) did you like in the demo?
I like the beginning of the Chapter 2. Well, even if a like scary things, positive stuff can't hurt !
8. Favorite chapter and protagonist?
Chapter 1 and 3 !
9. … Pairings/Ships, do you have any?
Hm, I don't have a lot a ships in general, so, no?
10. Was it scary?
Yeah, espcially Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.
11. What’s your favourite part to play through?
Idk.
12. Take a random screenshot!
Sorry, I don't have any ;;

(Sorry for my broken english)
Welp, I finally got to finish Chapter 3. (I hear Chapter 4 is done and 5 is underway...! U-update when? Such a cliffhanger..!

So here's the Q&A

1. I AM ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. The puzzles are super-challenging/thought-provoking (which I like, kinda tired of brain dead puzzles) and the story has me incredi-curious.

2. Easily it's Micaiah, with her seemingly dank backstory and surprisingly capable combat-skills despite being so nice and lazy. It made me laugh, to be honest. Shoutouts to Euphy for cute smugness and Kanon for secretly being Shanon.

3. Do Witches Exist? What is Mica and Micaiah's secret relationship if they have one? Why are there so many magical people? What is this dark plague? Does the Goddess Exist?

4. Yes. They're both descendant of the devil. Inherited magic? Probably caused by the mysterious darkness. Surely she exists.

5. WHO THE HECK IS THE HOOD GUY? IS THAT THE DEVIL? Who is the cute little Rhume and why do they not have a portrait? (Loved their drawings.) I want more art of the little q.t.

6. It's filled of plot twists and I hunger for more.

7. Some of the death scenes were good. (Divine punishment!) (I'm sorry.) Voice acting is pretty kay tooo~

8. See question #2.

9. Not really, but I'm a platonic cad who's oblivious to romance. *Sweats*

10. I'm not one to be stirred by mere pixels on a screen, but, as far as pixel horrors go, it was definitely nerve wracking. Made me forced to think and not panic.. So it def had my adrenaline go up.

11. All of it.

12. Here you go.
