UMERU 埋める

Another banger from Aza! I was not expecting the ending at all, and you did a very good job at creating a constantly eerie environment!

Although I do agree with another commentor that it was a little hard to see but granted im blind asf 😭

I enjoyed it, but I think there are a couple of problems.

I didn't know what mission to do at the beginning of the game and had to rely on YouTube strategy videos. It would be better to present the things to do like other missions.

I'm a japanese,but I couldn't quite figure out “Izo families.” This is a surname that is not often seen in real Japan. It may be fiction. In this game, flowers could be offered to the graves of the Shimazaki and the Amazaki families.

The time-limited and refillable lanterns and the picking of locks that only allow four failed attempts are game-like specifications, but I think they are hard to play for the first time. The finite lanterns are common in other games, but the picking requires a knack for manipulation, and I think it is a killer for first-timers.

It was strange that the large Buddha statues and statues that were originally inside the temple were smaller and placed outside like Jizo statues. In actual Japan, such a scene does not exist, and Buddhist statues are installed inside temples.

There are other Japanese people besides me who are pointing out strange things in the comments that don't correspond to real cemeteries, but what they're saying is correct.

That was definitely a creepy experience. I was pretty lost in this game though. Maybe I just had an off night or something but I struggled to figure out what to do almost every step of the way. It was a cool story though once I got through it and found out what was happening there. Thanks for the fun, my friend!

This was the 2nd game I played that you created. It was an okay experience, the scares got me and the environment was nice. I personally had a hard time with seeing, especially with it raining on your eyes. I can't wait to try all the others you created.  Good job, nonetheless!

I know you want to focus on the atmosphere, but the poor visibility made it difficult to collect items.

Hello, I am a Japanese fan of the games you make!

I especially love the Incident series!

I have played both Umeru and Sabishii.

I enjoyed the story, although I felt uncomfortable with some details of the Japanese culture.

Please support Japanese language!

I also wrote down some of the Japanese culture that I felt uncomfortable with.

I would be happy if it would be helpful!

・Japanese grave keepers don't carry lanterns very often. I think a flashlight is more realistic.

・In Japan, when a person dies, he/she is cremated and rarely buried in the ground. After the body is burned in a place called a crematorium, the bones are placed in a ceramic vessel called an urn, and the family takes them home. After that, the family asks a temple or cemetery to build a grave and enshrine the remains.

・In Japan, family members are responsible for cleaning the graves. Once a year, during the period called "Obon," people visit the graves to offer flowers to the dead, clean the graves, and greet their ancestors. Obon is in the summer.

Thank you for making games about Japan!

I look forward to seeing your new work!

Another awesome game from my friend!

Im excited to see what more has to come from you

I thought this was cool, i liked the context, the spooks, the atmosphere was something. Here is my video!

I have been looking forward to the new game you are creating!It was very spooky and fun!I am glad you made a horror game set in Japan！This is my fault, but I didn't quite understand the relationship between NIYA and the head-only woman because of my lack of understanding.I look forward to your next game.Thanks for making a great game!
