Set in the 1990s, the player is a writer for an occult magazine who hears ghost stories from three people in an old coffee shop, in any order. There are four endings. It is 400 yen, 20 percent off, for 14 days. Estimated play time is 2 to 2.5 hours.","whyItMatters":"Humecko is selling a short 1990s-set occult magazine story for 400 yen, and the pitch (choose the order of three ghost stories, then four endings) is aimed at the novel game format from the SNES and PlayStation eras rather than at length or production scale.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe three stories the writer hears are sounds from beneath the floor of an old single-story house with 15,000 yen rent, something encountered at an empty junior high school on a night of heavy rain, and something witnessed at an abandoned hotel in the mountains. The story continues after all three are told, and the ending changes with the player\u0026#39;s choices: one true ending, one normal ending, and two bad endings.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe work stands independent of the previous Kyofu Yawa, though scenes give a certain element left in that game a new meaning. A two-title set with both games is also sold at 10 percent off for buyers who own neither.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Kyofu Yawa: Second Night is out on Steam.
