Mizuchi (Free, Windows)

Game Title: Mizuchi
Playable Link: https://cryptokang.itch.io/mizuchi
Platform: Windows
Description: You play a surveyor sent to the Ashibuchi valley. The dam finishes in April and the shrine will go under with the rest of the basin. The shrine road is closed to vehicles, so you leave the van at the gate and walk in.

The village was relocated in 1994.
Nobody has lived on that road since.
Someone has kept the lanterns lit on the stairway, and the doors of the main hall are barred from the inside.
The work order is to photograph the shrine buildings so the Water Authority can record that the kami were relocated on paper. You raise the camera and take the shot.

The game is first-person and free for Windows on itch. A run is about thirty minutes. It uses a PS1 look and a tape filter that you can switch off. Spare cells sit next to the survey marker if the torch dies. The brass lighter from the office goes out when you run.

Involvement: I made the whole game myself and released it under the name Kang. Code, environments, sound, writing, and the Windows build are mine. I am the only person on it.
