Ryukishi07 is a scenario writer and illustrator who has created a variety of popular horror games to date, beginning with the series Higurashi When They Cry.

07th Expansion, a doujin circle which Ryukishi07 heads, also announced in April the all-new game Tri-Anthology: Sanmenkyou no Kuni no Alice (Tri-Anthology: Alice in the Country of the Three-Sided Mirror) and this has made a huge buzz among fans.

Set at Susuta Prefectural High School into which the main character transfers, the horror story of Iwaihime begins with a destined meeting with a strange girl named Toe Kurokami who clutches a creepy Japanese doll.

Both the title logo that looks frightening and the phrases “I envy you who allowed me to die” and “Drive away the curse of powerlessness” are already boosting anticipation for the game.

Full-body illustrations of the characters were also released by Kazuharu Kina at Tora Fes 2015.
