About This Game

“You were only trying to do the right thing—so why is everything falling apart?”

You are a Japanese-language teacher.

One day, worried about a student who has stopped coming to school,

you decide to visit her home.

What awaits you there are

girls crying out for help—and realities that cannot be overcome by good intentions alone.

Choose your words. Choose how close to become. Choose their futures.

Will your kindness save these girls?

Or will it become a new cage?

Three girls. Sixteen endings.

Haru wa Akebono, Ware wa Bakemono

is a multi-route psychological horror visual novel

about a teacher and three girls who no longer attend school.

There are no knives.

Human nature is what cuts deepest.

FEATURES

■ Three Girls, Three Different Stories

Dependency, obsession, troubled homes, and loneliness.

Each girl carries her own circumstances, secrets, and struggles.

■ Sixteen Endings

Your choices will change the girls’ fates.

After witnessing every story,

an ending for the teacher himself awaits.

■ A Story Where “Good Intentions” Can Destroy Someone

The right words and the right distance

do not always save the person you are trying to help.

■ Psychological Horror Without Jumpscares

Through conversations, silence, expressions,

and subtle changes in relationships,

the story depicts a quiet, steadily mounting sense of dread.

■ A World Inspired by Spring and Classical Japanese Literature

Experience a beautiful yet unsettling springtime story,

presented through striking visuals centered on black, white, and red.
