Rumours may lead to point-and-click investigations, where you must find all the pieces required to conduct a ritual and lay a ghost to rest. #visualnovel #indiedev #vndev06 Jan 2026 20:45 +0000at://did:plc:xpdeb2h5d7ztc5gghnkpaphp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbrt3c3cwc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/maneki-mushi.bsky.social/post/3maeqb3zqzc2lI'm making the Suspicion mechanic more important in update 2 by adding Rumours! Rumours increase local suspicion every hour, and may lock you out of an area if you let them go unchecked! They're not all bad, though; one will lead to a chance meeting with the third love interest. #indiedev #vndev19 Dec 2025 22:25 +0000at://did:plc:xpdeb2h5d7ztc5gghnkpaphp/app.bsky.feed.post/3maeqb3zqzc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/maneki-mushi.bsky.social/post/3m523sf6i6c2fUNDYING: Kowloon in Red is a VN/RPG hybrid about being a newly turned vampire in 1950s Hong Kong! 🎲 Roll the dice 🩸Feed to survive & avoid suspicion 👻Exorcise jiugwaai ❤️Make allies, friends and more store.steampowered.com/app/4127790/UNDYING_Kowloon_in_Red/ #PitchYaGame #indiegame #visualnovel07 Nov 2025 12:37 +0000at://did:plc:xpdeb2h5d7ztc5gghnkpaphp/app.bsky.feed.post/3m523sf6i6c2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/maneki-mushi.bsky.social/post/3m4idjzd3zk26UNDYING: Kowloon in Red's demo is out now!
