KAGARIBI
A Taisho Gothic Horror Novel born from silence, sound, and a soul-stirring EDM requiem—crafted from the creator's own "raw voice." Experience the resonance of souls through NewForever STUDIO’s unique "Vibe Coding."
KAGARIBI is a crystallization of the soul, created by a 57-year-old solo developer and Japan’s first Canva Official Creator. Born from deep within her kitchen through "Vibe Coding"—a revolutionary method of dialogue and resonance with AI agents—this story transcends being just a game; it is the very embodiment of a creator’s life and spirit.
A Prayer Entrusted to the Price: "777 Yen" ($5)
The price of this game carries a profound personal meaning.
The creator's late mother, who passed away suddenly, was born on January 7th.
The creator herself was born on March 27th.
And her only daughter was born on October 27th.
The number "7" connects three generations of a bloodline. It is the proof of a journey as a daughter, a mother, and now a grandmother—a sacred prayer for the present.
Dedicated to her late mother: This "poignant and sacred prayer" connecting three generations was delivered to all on Steam on March 27th for 777 yen ($5), as an eternal offering from the creator's heart.
Taisho Gothic Darkness: The Visual Abyss
"What was stolen was more than just a name." Wander through a phantasmagoria reflecting the haunting beauty of Japan’s Taisho Era. Uncover truths buried in the depths of memory and listen to what the flames whisper from the abyss.
A 57-Year-Old’s Reckoning: Uncharted Specifications
Terrors Guided by the "Raw Voice": The haunting presence speaking through the screen is the creator’s own soul. This raw, unfiltered intimacy draws the player deeper into the psychological abyss.
EDM Requiem & Original Tracks: A fusion of the creator's musical roots and AI resonance. Experience a soundscape where silence and madness intersect.
The Pinnacle of Psychological Horror: More terrifying than ghosts are human obsession and regret. An experience that speaks directly to your heart, leaving an echo you cannot forget.
◆ STORY
A mysterious mansion shrouded in darkness and silence.
Before your eyes flickers the "KAGARIBI" (Sacred Flame), eternally consuming the remnants of lost memories.
Kagari — A young man who has been stripped of his memories, even forgetting his own name.
Homura — A girl burdened by the memory of hellfire, tormented by crushing guilt.
Kinrei (Aurelia) — The enigmatic mistress of the abyssal mansion, who transformed into a fox through the sheer force of her obsession.
When two souls that were never meant to meet overlap, the labyrinth of the past opens its jaws.
Why were you led here? What have you forgotten?
— What is the final truth of "Obsession" that you will find?
◆ THEME
"At the edge of obsession, what will you find...?"
Mistakes of youth, unspoken apologies, regrets submerged in water.
The choices you make are more than just branching paths. Guided by the creator's "raw voice," you will confront your own inner obsessions and reach the truth within your own heart.
◆ FEATURES
A Requiem of Original Vocals: The songs and EDM were all woven from the creator's own voice and raw sensitivity. Its trembling resonance will lead your spirit into the abyss.
Vibe Coding: A fusion of human passion and AI agency. A decadent and beautiful visual world based on surrealist nightmares.
Psychological Erosion: A narrative experience focused on psychological tension and immersion, shunning cheap jump scares.
Multiple Endings: Your decisions will determine whether you rescue the soul or offer it as fuel for the KAGARIBI.
◆ DEVELOPER'S NOTE
This is my "soul's cry," spun entirely alone over six months in a midnight kitchen, while balancing housework and caring for my elderly father.
In this story—dense as a single drop of ink—lies a "genuine sensitivity" that technology alone can never reach.
Please, pick up this small flame (KAGARIBI) with your own hands.
This is a story for all who carry the weight of words unsaid.
We can be reborn again and again.

[New Trailer] The Soul's Requiem Unleashed.
Lastly, as a human being, let me share everything that is in my heart right now.When I first released this game, only ten people picked it up. Yet, it was the light from those precious ten souls that convinced me I must not let this story die. Because they were there, I refused to give up.This is not just a game. It is my prayer, my trembling voice, and my life itself. I may never be able to compete with massive capital or the latest technology. But I know in my soul that the "beauty, pain, and sorrow" embedded in KAGARIBI is 100% authentic—something that can never be imitated. To our valued first 10 buyersBecause you were there for me, I didn't give up. If you are standing still in your own abyss of loneliness or obsession, anywhere in the world… please, pick up this "small flame" of mine with your own hands. Because you are the only one who can give "meaning" to these six months of my life. I ask you, from the depths of my soul—please, do not let this fire go out.
