Weekly blog post #634: gosatsu.com/2026/10/03/6... Today, we're continuing to talk about the evolution of our latest release #SHINRAI Saku ♨️ #visualnovel #vn #vndev #gamedev #indiedev

Weekly blog post #634: gosatsu.com/2026/09/25/6... This time, we talk about the real life reference for #SHINRAI Saku's Tenrinto ♨️

A little late, but we can finally share this week's blog post link here, too: gosatsu.com/2026/09/19/633/ This one's a bit different, though. Given current circumstances, it's about yesterday's visit to Shirakawa-go, the real life reference for Higurashi's Hinamizawa!

September 12 is the day the events of #GENBA no Kizuna take place 🦖 So, if you haven't yet, why not head over to the Kaseki residence today to solve its Mesozoic #MurderMystery? Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/937280 itch: gosatsuvns.itch.io/genba #visualnovel #vn #vndev #gamedev #indiedev

Weekly blog post #630: gosatsu.com/2026/09/05/6... Talking about how #SHINRAI Saku even came to be ♨️ #visualnovel #vn #vndev #gamedev #indiedev

The anniversary sale may be over, but our new #visualnovel #SHINRAI Saku is a shorter tale, so it's lower priced in general. As such, it's still a good time to pick it up (if you've played the OG that is)! Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3941070 itch: gosatsuvns.itch.io/saku #gamedev #indiedev

If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the super cool anniversary track @crescendotto.com composed for us! It's uploaded in full (& with an equally cool video to boot): www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS-p... #SHINRAI #GENBA #visualnovel #vndev #gamedev #indiedev

As for #GENBA, the 4 major inspirations behind that one were: 1) Trauma Team 2) Edgeworth Investigations 3) Ryuu ga Gotoku/Yakuza 3 4) Jurassic Park, of course!

🪦🦖G🎃spel🦕🪦@gospelds.bsky.social · last mo.

Peeps mostly compare #SHINRAI to Danganronpa, but I didn't even know it existed back in 2011. My main inspirations actually were: 1) Meitantei Conan 2) And Then There Were None 3) Fatal Frame II - Crimson Butterfly (+Ace Attorney for the gameplay elements later on in the VN version)

Only 2 more hours left to grab #SHINRAI & #GENBA while they're still discounted🚨 #murdermystery #visualnovel #vn #vndev #gamedev #indiedev

Btw, if you wanna learn a bit more behind-the-scenes stuff about #SHINRAI & how our #visualnovel "en-dev-ors" started, check out this @fuwanl.bsky.social interview I gave in 2023: fuwanovel.moe/2023/10/murd...

Murder Mystery Mastery — Interview With the Mind Behind 'SHINRAI - Broken Beyond Despair'

Fuwanovel held an interview with GospelDS, the mastermind behind Gosatsu Visual Novels, an uprising indie game developer team of two people making murder mysteries.

It might be #SHINRAI's 10th release anniversary, but it's actually been 15 years since I originally wrote it as a fun little story... never intended to be made public, never mind released as a VN 😅 Back then, it was also titled differently: "Night of the Vanishing Corpses" 1/2

If you want to check out #SHINRAI yourself, now's a good time, as it's 50% off! Plus, what better way to start the spooky season than by solving a Halloween-themed #murdermystery? 🎃 Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/499910 itch: gosatsuvns.itch.io/shinrai-brok... #visualnovel #gamedev #indiedev

Meanwhile, #GENBA was conceived near Loch Ness in late August of 2015 under the simple working title "SHINRAI Investigation"! You can learn more about that here & in the "Evolution Of GENBA"series of posts I shared in the weeks following the release: gosatsu.com/2024/09/14/5...
