DEMO
Windows | Mac | Linux
Playtime: c. 15 minutes
Our uploading to the forum failed multiple times, so we have to use an external uploader. Sorry about that >_<
Please tell us if there are any bugs (>_<;; there are probably some that we missed out)! We will fix them ASAP!
The preferences and save/load screens are still the default Ren'Py ones. ;w;
We want feedback on the sound, specifically. We've tested the game on 2 computers and well... we don't know how to gauge it. So if it's too loud or too soft please leave a complaint! But general con/crit is greatly appreciated!
NOTE: Rollback is enabled but please do not rollback beyond choices as it messes up values!! This problem will be fixed soon. (it's 1.30 AM over here ;_;)

Just wanted to share a little on my team's (read: me and my sis) upcoming (read: December, January-ish 2012 TBA, because we're busybusybusy now) project. 8'D

Image

Summary
A traumatic incident in his childhood has left Mizutani Nagisa with an irrational fear of water. When storms afflict the neighborhood he stays in for a full week, his occasional nightmares begin to plague him every single night -- until one day he finds himself stranded in his school building, which is slowly filling up with water...

Gameplay
Visual-novel style gameplay with two ways of branching -- menus and deciding where to go via a location map.

Characters

Mizutani Nagisa / 水谷 渚
Image
Age: 18
Height: 170 cm
A third-year high school student and the protagonist. Nagisa generally keeps to himself as he is afraid of opening up to people. He is uncomfortable with water after a traumatic incident in his past.

Ishikawa Youichi / 石川 洋一
Image
Age: 18
Height: 180 cm
Nagisa's classmate, who seems to know an unusual lot about him...

Miki Atsushi / 三木 淳

Kanda Souta / 菅田 滝太
Image
Age: 18
Height: 172 cm
The ever-reliable class president, but can't deal very well with unexpected situations.

Takano Ryuuki / 高野 流生

Age: 16
Height: 168 cm
Atsushi's junior from the badminton team. He's only nice to the people he likes. Annoying to most people.

We don't have much confidence in our drawing/writing/coding skills but thanks for showing interest! We were afraid no one would like this sort of thing, heh.

Thanks! And there's no gore; the horror's mostly in the atmosphere? C: We're just trying to make it creepy enough to... creep people out I guess.

I lol'd at your "TOTALLY A BOY BAND" screenshot.
Ahem, anyway. I have this thing for BL and also for horror, so I think I shall have to stalk your thread.
(Your art is lovely and really fits with this genre of story. Have you got a dA account, by any chance? ;D)
