From the creator of Angels of Death: the multi-ending exploration horror game The Forest of Drizzling Rain. Includes Full Ver. (2022), completed nine years after the original release, and Original Ver. (2013), where it all began. Alas, it was the "promised place," where Shiori was never meant to go.
