Down Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 A horror game named "Iwaihime". Art won't be drawn by Ryukishi himself this time. Some information was revealed at a Tora no Ana event, more information here. Considering the horror/denpa aspect of Higurashi was one of the best things about it, I think this could turn out to be interesting. Ryukishi might be more apt at writing horror than mystery.

Nosebleed Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I just hope the box art is close to the in-game art... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vokoca Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Oh, this could potentially be amazing. Just surprised this got announced so soon, how about that other joint project? Trian Thology, was it? I just hope the box art is close to the in-game art... Same here, I really hope Ryukishi isn't drawing this time around. At least the site suggest that he isn't, so, yay for that!

Ene Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 The art style looks pretty nice. that doll is kinda creepy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakajou Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I wonder how scary it can be... rather, how much it "will" affect our minds? (after reading it, that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronIsCrunchy Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 This looks like something to look forward to! Not sure if the likelihood of it being less convoluted than Higurashi is good or bad, but as long as the story's good and the art is as beautiful as it seems right now, there hsould be no complaints from this guy :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funyarinpa Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 This is going to be fun... I wonder if it will be WTC-level though. I guess nobody knows yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderfullyevil Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 So is this the surprise he mentioned? Though my memory is vague on that expo video. Ryukishi's skill in writing is definitely his manipulation of the atmosphere. While his mysteries are pretty cool and nicely add to WTC, I wouldn't be surprised if someone disliked them. That said, I don't expect this to reach WTC level. In terms of art, I like it a lot. I hope that it looks like the cover in-game, and I hope he doesn't resort to digitally altered photographs for backgrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 If you check the article I linked, the chara-designer and background artist are both known. The chara-design is very... generic, but at least it's not R07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalor Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 A horror game named "Shukuhime". Art won't be drawn by Ryukishi himself this time.

Trianthology is an 07th Expansion VN, this is a DMM VN. Scenario writers taking on multiple projects at once with different companies is fairly commonplace.

Getsuya Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I smell jealousy/love triangle plot. And by 'smell' I mean the text on the right side of one of the images says, esentially, 'Don't speak with or e-mail them (I'm using the genderless here because it's not clear if we're referring to a boy or girl here) in places where I'm not around' or... eugh that sound so awkward but without knowing context or even how he phrase begins that's the best I could hammer out. Anyway, sounds like jealousy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcosis Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Wow, Ryukishi07 finally came to his senses. Too bad his protagonists still look like carbon copies of Keiichi. You won't even have to play it; it's going to get adapted into anime preety soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Poltroon Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Not sure I'd like one such game without his... characteristic style of drawing. So charming, major turn-off for me. Now I won't get the pleasure of patching the original sprites away... I wonder if it will be WTC-level though. I guess nobody knows yet. Would anyone be so kind as to educate an ignoramus in regards as to what WTC pertains to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 World Trade Center When They Cry, the English name for the Higurashi / Umineko series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getsuya Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It's a female speaking, so I guess the likely conclusion is she's talking to the guy about other girls. Also "when I'm not around." That was my first instinct but for some reason when I was looking at it late last night trying to pummel my tired brain into translation mode I couldn't get past thinking that 'tokoro' could only be used when referencing locations.

Decay Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 World Trade Center When They Cry, the English name for the Higurashi / Umineko series It's also kind of the Japanese name of the series. Although note that it's the name of the series, not the name for the individual games. Although anime fansubbers and Sentai (the official licensor) ruined that one for all time. Higurashi When They Cry is such an awful title localization. Yes I'm still mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
