In this light horror RPG, you take the role of Shio, a traveler who gets stranded at an old Japanese bath house in the middle of a snowstorm. Short on cash and with no other options, you're roped into helping a reporter investigate the strange happenings and rumors of hauntings around the old inn, searching for the truth behind the rumors and trying to stay alive in the process.
A bit of a love letter to Japanese folklore and urban legends, many of the encounters range from well known Japanese spirits to more obscure creatures. With the exception of the title screen and game over theme, the game features an entirely custom OST as well as custom enemy graphics, with an emphasis on exploration and problem solving to handle each unique encounter, some through combat and others through interacting with the environment.
The demo includes the first two floors of the inn, ending in the third floor hub.
Ok just finished the video and I'm kind of dying a little on the inside. Between the pantry event being bugged (I swear it was working before I had to emergency transfer the project from my old dying computer) and missing the other 2 optional encounters, you finished a playthrough without actually seeing the titular character. I'll definitely have to take out some flood insurance on that house though lol.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Also with the puzzles, you're not dumb don't worry haha, the balancing act of finding that happy medium between too obtuse and way too obvious is something I'm still trying to get just right (though item descriptions do offer some nudges in the right direction in some cases).. I'll give the video a full watch now that I've got the chance.
So I finally got this game to a point where I'm comfortable releasing it on here. The Man in Yellow is an RPG Maker horror game focusing on cosmic and psychological horror. You take the role of Alex, a private detective. After receiving a desperate phone call, you return to the scene of a cold case to hopefully uncover the truth behind a young girl's death.
The game is in late alpha (practically beta at this point since it's mostly just bug fixing, some dialogue and story edits here and there, and one last 'big update', but the game can be cleared with multiple endings in its current state).
