Kamaitachi no Yoru: Rinne Saisei
Tooru and his girlfriend Mari are spending a pleasant winter vacation at Spur,
a ski resort in the mountains. After dinner one night, a note is discovered
hinting that someone is to die at midnight, which causes panic among the
guests and staff at the lodge. With a violent blizzard occurring outside, and
no way of escaping, Tooru, Mari, and the rest of Spur’s occupants quickly find
themselves drawn into a dramatic whodunit mystery, sprawling into a struggle
to make it through the entire night alive…
Kamaitachi no Yoru: Rinne Saisei is a remake of the 1994 SNES murder mystery
sound novel by Spike Chunsoft. It is particularly notable compared to previous
versions for including full voice acting for all characters, as well as a
dramatically different new art style that replaces the silhouettes and
photographic backgrounds from the original with anime-style art. It also
contains a new bonus scenario, written especially for the remake by
Ryuukishi07, creator of the famous Higurashi: When They Cry series.
