![]() ![]() Long ago, Shiori made a promise with the Kotori Obake to save her friend, Suga. She searches for children to fill the gap of her own dead children, but she is never satisfied. The Kotori Obake is a vengeful spirit of a woman that, under false accusations, was killed along with her children. As the main mechanic in the game, the player must explore the old museum to uncover things about Shiori’s past, her family, the town, and the forest. ![]() Upon arrival, she starts to question many aspects of her past and why her parents left the town in the first place. To sum up the story, the game revolves around a young woman named Shiori as she visits her family’s old house that was turned into the town’s museum. ![]() It may not seem scary in a pixelated style, but once she (the ghost) starts chasing you it is frightening. The forest is always dark and raining in the area, and it is suppose to be a forbidden place since the Kotori Obake (child-taking ghost) occupies the forest. Since this is a horror game, you will come across dark rooms, things breaking on their own, and bloody hand prints coming out of nowhere. The old museum has multiple rooms to explore and it is generally a safe area. The main settings for the game are the old museum and the forest. I for one love the art styles of RPGs, sure they are not as detailed as 3D games, but I like the simplicity of them. Like most RPGs, you are seeing the game in a sort of top angle and players are able to move in a 2D space walking up, down, left, and right. Instead of short, blocky figures the characters have a little more height and detail in them. The art style is a very simple pixel art, which I love by the way. Another protagonist, Suga, uses a blade made of nightstones as his main weapon to slay evil spirits. So, for every one time a spirit attacks, one stone will shatter. There is an item in the game called nightstone jewels, they protect the player against evil spirits. Throughout the story, the player will be able to play as other characters for a short time, and again to explore the area. Eventually, the player will have to explore the forest and solve puzzles in order to continue. Upon discovering certain things, one can progress through the story and learn more about the place. The player will be mostly playing as the protagonist, Shiori, while exploring an old house that was turned into a museum. This game is an adventure horror game where the main mechanics are exploration and puzzle-solving. For this week, I decided to play Forest of Drizzling Rain, a Japanese RPG made in RPG Maker VX Ace for PC. ![]()
