Kugayama Shiori's Death Diary
A mystery visual novel where horror meets occult comedy. Follow Kugayama Shiori, a ghost who casually dies over and over as she searches for her cause of death and the regrets that bind her to this world. Her investigation will eventually lead to a single incident—and the truth behind her demise.
Visual novel with mystery and occult imagery; horror elements are present (ghost, violence, frightening imagery) but the core gameplay is investigative narration and branching endings. Fear and suspense exist, but they are not the primary driver of the experience. Horror functions as atmosphere and theme rather than the central mechanic.
Best for players looking for a light on combat and low-gore horror experience.
