It's amazing, love the story and drawings, just everything really, it's dreamy. ^-^

What inspired you to do it? :-)

I do have some troubles with.. (SPOILER ALERT)
the hiding in the game.. no idea if it's a bug? I hide in the board but it still kills me. uuugh. ><


Thank you for the praise!! :'D

The tip is to hide in 12 seconds. Any more and they'll find you!

Let's Play: Dear Mariko

Thanks for playing! :D

I have to agree actually-

Welp, even though this game is kind of typical yandere since it's just meant to be a short, creepypasta-esque one, but I shy away from these types in my longer games where I actually bother to develop a proper backstory.

One thing I find pretty cool is to see the difference between a classic Yandere and a modern one - a classic one would be one who is originally sweet and is pushed to extremes and becomes crazy, while a modern one is the kind who alternates between sweet and crazy. Interesting to see how these kinds of stereotypes develop.
Aah--honestly I think Mariko looked more like a modern yandere than Shinku did. Maybe Darian was dating two yanderes at the same time? ;)

I actually liked Shinku's character. If you ever do a remake (or a prequel) of this game you should consider making it longer with some sort of explanation as to why Shinku is why she is. I'd totally play that :P

I also started playing your demo for Mica: Apoptosis. Really liking what I'm seeing currently!


Heh, the 'official' explanation is just that there was some time lapse between the introduction monologue and the current Mariko, during which Mariko found out about Shinku, and broke psychologically from being repeatedly harassed and stalked (which is why she is carrying a knife everywhere). Any theories are welcome, though. :P

And yeah, I'm actually really determined to release Mica: Apoptosis, though I think the plot is getting pretty convoluted! And I'll certainly consider the Dear Mariko prequel thing. :D

Not really, I just decided to do something Charon-ish for kicks and giggles. :P I do like having morally ambiguous female characters who can be pushed to extremes and do some extreme things, but seldom are they actually stereotypically yandere, because as fun as they can be, they can tend to get boring after a while.
Yeah, I see what you're saying. Yanderes can be poorly done sometimes--and usually don't have an excuse to be crazy other than the "Welp, i just like to kill because shock value hurdy hur hur."

While a character being pushed to an extreme is more emotional... and has a better impact on the player/watcher/etc.

Of course, hun! I look forward to more of your games!

And... I do have to ask. Are yandere characters a trend in your games? ;)

Hi there! I wasn't getting any problems with the RGSS-TP and all, and managed to arrive at the title screen and start my game! But, then.. when I thought all was well and running.. when the dialogue box appeared and I waited for the text to pop out, nothing. So, I thought it just happened to hang and so I waited some more.. And then, I tried pressing spacebar to confirm that its not working anymore, but the cursor was just working fine. And so, I concluded that there was no text appearing at all. And I've really wanted to play this for some time now! And thank you for the wonderful game! Have a nice day and GodBless! =D


Hmm I don't think it usually happens with RPG Maker games, but when it does it might be a problem with your computer's graphics card. Can you try restarting the game? Hope it works!

Dear Mariko Review

Thank you so much for the review! :)

Thanks so much for the comments!! :)

I've been going through the game and replacing the old music with new original music. There are some occasional samples on the Tumblr blog!
