PEDESTAL is a freeware investigation and puzzle game by Uri made in WOLF RPG Editor.

One month ago, Cosmos Girls’ Academy student Shiori Natsume was found dead on campus. Though rumor spreads that it was suicide, Aoi Ooe of the newspaper club wants to know if that’s really true. Accompanied by her friend Akari, she begins an investigation to uncover the truth - no matter what may come of it.

Be sure to note the warnings on the page, both regarding the dark topics involved in the central mystery and the theme of the story.

For context: I decided to pass on translating this game a year ago when it came out. Uri felt unconfident at the time whether it would land with English audiences, and given the volume of text, she insisted I didn’t have to translate it if I didn’t want to. But I never really “didn’t want” to translate it; ultimately, I think it just came at a bad time for me focusing on something of this size. I wanted to come back to it someday, so now I have.

It’s important to recognize that this game is something of a departure from Uri’s previous games. Things to do with Japanese high school culture are rather prominent, assuming some familiarity with it, though I’ve of course done my best so that people can pick up on things with minimal external context. In addition, it’s not a “horror game,” nor going for that kind of atmosphere. I’d also say there’s more dialogue and less gameplay, and a good deal of that gameplay involves questioning lots of people to find those who have important information. It’s bound to be divisive, but I believe it’s a story worth experiencing if you’re willing to see it through.

There’s a walkthrough on my page, which I would encourage people to refer to if they want to meet the numerous special ending requirements without having to replay.

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

Sorry for being so quiet everyone! Work has me busy and I’ve been on and off sick the past couple weeks, and trying to get outside a bit more before it gets too cold

Not going on hiatus or anything, just know my posting will slow down a bit, plus trying to fix my sleep schedule <_<;

Asked by no one but wanted to ramble and list some horror games that I think are pretty neat~

Mouthwashing:

If you couldn’t tell I adore this game, the premise and theme of the game is handled so well, the characters are great and there is so much ‘show don’t tell’ in this game that sparks so much conversation

American McGee’s Alice:

I know Madness Returns is the more popular Alice game due to it being more accessible at the time but please, PLEASE watch a playthrough or give McGee’s Alice a chance. While the gameplay is rough and bumby the atmosphere, THE ATMOSPHERE CHEFS KISS. I love how sharp, angular and jagged everything, wonderland is twisted and macabre the music is THE MUSIC MAGNIFICENT!

Alisa:

A fairly recent horror game that has their own special place in my heart. While the story is confusing and doesn’t make sense, to be fair it could just be part of the game’s charm and will probably be fleshed out in the sequel. Alisa is such a cute and creepy little game that takes me back to my childhood of first discovering horror games on the PS1. The characters are fun, the love is oozing from the game and the music makes you feel like you’re in a toy box filled nightmare.

Haunting Ground:

I’ll get out of the way that I am extremely biased towards Haunting Ground and will get territorial of this game. This is my comfort game, it’s been with me for my lowest points in life and highest points of life. Belli Castle is my second home. I’ll be here all day rambling nonsense about this game so let’s just move to the next one!

Silent Hill 3

This here is a game to play when you want to relive your teenage angsty years. Heather is such a lovable character as we go through her average day to a not so average revenge plot. I’ll go ahead and add (beg) to please check out Silent Hill 1 and Shattered Memories because Harry Mason is just as deserving of attention as his blonde who has more fun daughter.

Clock Tower

The original Clock Tower is one of my gateways into the realm of survival horror, it’s how I discovered Haunting Ground, Siren, and many other horror gems. While I unfortunately haven’t played Rewind I can still praise the classic and its series. I am a sucker for horror games that allow you use brains over brawn and allow the character to shine through their wits and the Clock Tower games do just that!

Kuon

This eerie gem pulls you in right away just with the title screen, the soft lullaby that greets you has stuck with me years after I have played the game and it still unsettles me. Although the game can be a tad slow since the game recommends you to walk not run I do think it adds to the creepiness because you don’t want to risk alerting enemies. I love how you can play the game from multiple perspective as well! Though this is a game if you can play it versus watching a playthrough, I’d recommend that! Watching a no commentary playthrough of this game is more of a sleep aid unfortunately…but playing it and forcing yourself to continue the journey, very spooky, very creepy, especially in the dark.
