Kamaitachi no Yoru - Rinne Saisei

 Release: 2018-02-23 (PC port of the 2017 PSV release) English TL Patch 1.0 - Dec 11, 2021 Translation: [Project Kamai](https://projectkamai.com/) Description: Originally released for SNES in 1994, Kamaitachi no Yoru helped kick off the golden age of VNs, and went on to sell more than a million copies across various consoles. The 2017 PSV remake, subtitled Rinne Saisei, overhauled the mystery-horror title with art from G-Senjou no Maou illustrator Alpha, a new scenario by Higurashi creator Ryukishi07, full voice-acting, and a completely updated soundtrack. The game revolves around Tōru and his girlfriend Mari, who are suddenly drawn into a horrible murder mystery while on vacation at a skiing lodge. The first part of the games develops as a crime-solving adventure. Additional murders occur if the player is unable to find clues, and the story culminates into a horror movie-esque ending. Info: Change system locale to Japanese. 18+ is for violence and blood. No sexual content. Release notes: "Even unpatched, the Rinne Saisei engine is a bit flaky. Although rare, crashes will happen. None of this is surprising, of course, since Rinne Saisei is essentially a giant mod that’s been grafted onto Lovely x Cation, another MAGES. visual novel. When you dive into the Rinne Saisei source code, you end up finding huge chunks of unused Lovely x Cation scripting, image assets, UI elements — you name it. Maybe we should be surprised the game works as well as it does?" "If you get bitten by one of these crashes, don’t worry too much. Between the game’s built-in flowchart and aggressive autosaving, you can get back to where you were in under a minute." Known issues: "When doing a lot of zipping around the flowchart, you may find that the story refers to you making slightly different choices than you remember. This bug is also present in the JP release, and was commented upon by Japanese reviewers at the time. Thankfully, it’s limited to small amounts of flavor text. While it’s something we’d love to fix, the behavior is wired deep in the logic of the game. So call it a stretch goal." Screenshots with the patch applied in the translator's site.
