Fans of Japanese horror games may be familiar with this one. Developed by ImCyan, the game was first released as a series of browser horror games back in 2012. For this particular version, players can expect a total of nine scenarios, seven from the original series and two new ones made for the Steam version.

New Episodes
As mentioned, there are two new episodes. The first is titled Ai’s Silent Cries. The episode focuses on Kizuna Ai as she walks home after doing a live broadcast. But on the way home feels different and familiar at the same time. This particular episode was made possible in partnership with Japanese Vtuber Kizuna Ai.
The second new episode is Tsugunohi: The Ethereal Railroad Crossing. This is set in a train crossing and tells the story of a girl and a living spirit that seems to be a carbon copy of her.
If you’re interested, you can get the game on Steam.
