The original version came out in 2013 as a freeware. The main character of the game, Shiori Kanzaki, lost her parents in an accident, and while sorting through their belongings, she finds a photo of a man reminiscent of her grandfather. The name of an unfamiliar village called Azakawa was written on the photo, prompting Shiori to travel there, hoping to meet her grandparent and to visit her parent\u2019s hometown. There, Shiori meets a couple of peculiar figures and sets foot in a nearby forbidden forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first game created by Makoto Sanada, the developer behind <em>Angels of Death<\/em>. The original <em>Kirisame ga Furu Mori <\/em>was adapted into manga and a novel, and has sold over 600,000 copies. The game is also available on iOS\/Android as part of Gamemaga app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3010\u9727\u96e8\u304c\u964d\u308b\u68ee\uff1a\u30ea\u30e1\u30a4\u30af\u9032\u884c\u4e2d\uff01\u3011<br>8\u5e74\u524d\u306e\u4eca\u65e5\u30ea\u30ea\u30fc\u30b9\u3055\u308c\u305f\u300e\u9727\u96e8\u304c\u964d\u308b\u68ee\u300f\u2015\u2015\u306a\u3093\u3068\u30ea\u30e1\u30a4\u30af\u5236\u4f5c\u4e2d\u3067\u3059\uff01<br> <br>\u30de\u30c3\u30d7\u3092\u5168\u9762\u7684\u306b\u4f5c\u308a\u76f4\u3059\u306a\u3069\u3001\u6f14\u51fa\u304c\u4e00\u65b0\u3002ED\u4ee5\u5916\u306b\u3082\u5206\u5c90\u30eb\u30fc\u30c8\u304c\u8ffd\u52a0\u3055\u308c\u3001\u9078\u629e\u3067\u5909\u308f\u308b\u7269\u8a9e\u3092\u3088\u308a\u697d\u3057\u3081\u308b\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u3078\u3002\u8a73\u7d30\u306f\u4f5c\u8005\u30d6\u30ed\u30b0\u3092\u304a\u8aad\u307f\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\uff01<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WBrrag0MB1\">https:\/\/t.co\/WBrrag0MB1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zFQ1vQ3C92\">pic.twitter.com\/zFQ1vQ3C92<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u6bba\u622e\u306e\u5929\u4f7f\ud83e\udebd\u516c\u5f0f\u30a2\u30ab\u30a6\u30f3\u30c8 (@strk_tenshi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/strk_tenshi\/status\/1447502644914708480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 11, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The remake version will include major upgrades to modernize the game, along with a total rework of the maps. The exploration part will also be renewed. Now that Sanada has more experience in game development in general, they aim to improve the game by adding things they were not able to back when Sanada was making the original version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the story, new branching paths will be added outside of the endings. There are also plans to include new scenarios that will bring new perspectives to the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanada also mentions that they decided to make a remake because the original version didn\u2019t age well in terms of control scheme and gameplay, especially the exploration part. It was acceptable at the time, but playing the original can be troublesome by today\u2019s standards. Now, Sanada is trying to modernize the game, so that more people can enjoy it.<br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coincidentally, a remake of another Japanese free horror game from the 2010s, <em>Ib<\/em>, was recently announced (see <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20211004-3421\/\">related article<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kirisame ga Furu Mori remake announced with new scenario and branching paths.
