Kugayama Shiori is a ghost who cannot leave the world and remembers little beyond her name. With the help of the only living person who can see and speak with her, she searches for her lost memories, the reason she died, and the regrets keeping her there.
Players visit locations, talk with ghosts and other characters, and follow clues connected to urban legends and a past incident. Shiori also attempts to piece together her death by recreating it, while encounters bring each ghost’s story and lingering attachment into view.
Choices and the order of investigations shape the story and can lead to different endings. Players can collect archive entries for an Urban Legend Encyclopedia, and a Blood Filter changes the appearance of blood without removing written descriptions or other horror elements.
Reviewers often praise the cast, presentation, and a story that combines ghostly unease and comedy with an emotional payoff, especially in the true ending. Some found the mystery and its final reveal satisfying, while others felt the reveal or mystery elements fell short. A recurring frustration is that important route conditions can be hard to spot, making it difficult to reach particular endings without a guide.
Kugayama Shiori's Death Diary is a visual novel where you advance the story by making choices that appear throughout the game.
Every decision needed to uncover the death and regrets of the ghost, Kugayama Shiori, is left entirely in your hands.
There are multiple endings, and depending on your choices, the story may lead to unexpected conclusions.
Interact with all sorts of ghosts, collect archive entries to fill out the Urban Legend Encyclopedia, and unravel the truth behind the story.
