About This Game

[Ghost in the Pool] is a short black-and-white Japanese comic style campus horror visual novel game.
The story and art style are derived from the original series of horror comics “诡闻斋”.
This game is recreated and developed by CASCHA and the original authors of the comic JOEY.
Take you to experience different campus horror tales differently.

story:

It all started from a rumor that the school swimming pool had a ghost in it, Every innocent life can be the victim, especially when you go there at night. The school knows it but keeps it quiet, and just simply locks the pool after the daytime.
But, there are always some brave people who believe or do not believe it, and break into the natatorium at night, and meet the horrible creature there and with no return back.

Game content:

  • 1 to 2 hours of the fully interactive game, including 3 main endings and multiple branches. The specific game duration depends on the gameplay you choose.
  • More than 200 fully hand-drawn art resources, including portraits and scene backgrounds of all characters, and vivid comic strips.
  • 6 completely original music works and rich sound effects and visual effects.
  • Multi-language localization support. (For details, please refer to Steam's introduction) The supported languages ​​will continue to be added in subsequent updates.

诡闻斋 comic series:

“诡闻斋” is a series of short horror cartoons created by “九日十夜”, which brings together many long or short independent horror stories. “Ghost “in the pool” is one of the shortest short stories.
As the first attempt at gamification in the series, we chose “Ghost in the Pool” as the prologue of the series of games.
This means that more exciting and longer games will be launched in the future.

This game is developed by CASCHA and JOEY.
