Our take on Kugayama Shiori's Death Diary
The choice-driven structure gives the story branching conclusions, but limits the gameplay mainly to narrative decisions, ghost interactions, and archive collection. Its roughly 10-hour length also favors a focused mystery over a long-form adventure with extensive progression.
What is Kugayama Shiori's Death Diary?
This occult mystery visual novel centers on Kugayama Shiori, a ghost who keeps dying as she searches for the cause of her death and the regrets binding her to the living world.
Player decisions shape the investigation, producing varied endings and unforeseen results. Progress involves speaking with different spirits and gathering records for an Urban Legend Encyclopedia. The expected playtime is about 10 hours. Content includes violent scenes, disturbing images, and suicide depictions. A Blood Filter alters blood coloration for viewers who prefer less graphic visuals, but it leaves text about those scenes, horror material, and associated content intact.
