Hello, I am a Japanese fan of the games you make!

I especially love the Incident series!

I have played both Umeru and Sabishii.

I enjoyed the story, although I felt uncomfortable with some details of the Japanese culture.

Please support Japanese language!

I also wrote down some of the Japanese culture that I felt uncomfortable with.

I would be happy if it would be helpful!

・Japanese grave keepers don't carry lanterns very often. I think a flashlight is more realistic.

・In Japan, when a person dies, he/she is cremated and rarely buried in the ground. After the body is burned in a place called a crematorium, the bones are placed in a ceramic vessel called an urn, and the family takes them home. After that, the family asks a temple or cemetery to build a grave and enshrine the remains.

・In Japan, family members are responsible for cleaning the graves. Once a year, during the period called "Obon," people visit the graves to offer flowers to the dead, clean the graves, and greet their ancestors. Obon is in the summer.


Thank you for making games about Japan!

I look forward to seeing your new work!

Thanks for your support and feedback!

1. The reason for a lantern instead of a flashlight is simply because flashlights are very overused in many horror games.

2. Yes i am familiar with the process, while most are buried with their body in my country, cremation still occurs as well in a very similar way.

3. Very cool fact about Obon i did not know that! Although here the family is also responsible for cleaning their family members graves.

Thank you for checking out and supporting my work and i look forward to bring you the third and final game in this short series. As for localization i will have to see about adding that. Thanks again!

Obon is the season when the spirits of ancestors are said to come home, and people make and decorate vehicles resembling horses made from vegetables so that ancestral spirits can ride them home, or build a small fire at the entrance so that they do not wander off.

So summer is the season of horror in Japan!

It's almost summer in Japan, so people want to play lots of horror games.

I'm looking forward to it!
