SHINRAI Saku – Blooming Beyond Despair is a character-focused follow-up to Broken Beyond Despair, developed using the Ren’Py visual novel engine.
This project is currently in development. More information will be unveiled very soon.
Story:
One month after that dreadful Halloween night, Raiko’s school grade travels to the city of Tenrinto.
While many of the students are excited, planning to make the most of the long-awaited trip,
some are still affected by the tragic events they have been through and continue to struggle with their aftermath.
Life goes on, however.
And whether it’s by reverting back to their old shenanigans to blend out the problems, or by confronting them head-on,
everyone needs to find a way to move along… lest they be left behind to wither away.

What To Expect:
Unlike Broken Beyond Despair, Saku is not a murder mystery!
While there are some moments that do require Raiko to once again use her deductive skills,
the story primarily focuses on the challenges and problems that she and her classmates are facing
following the events of October 30, and how they are dealing with them.
Consequently, there are no interactive gameplay elements such as investigation segments or evidence presentation.
Instead, this is an almost entirely kinetic experience, making it a visual novel in the truest sense of the term!
