A downloadable game for Windows


Homicipher tells a story of a girl who wanders into the Other World and encounters many strange men who speak a foreign language on her way to escape. You will interpret their language based on their expressions and gestures. By continuously deciphering the language and filling in appropriate words, you will understand the key clues behind all this and escape from the Other World.

However, the players’ characters dangerously fall in love with these strange men when communicating! Get a taste of living on the edge by facing situations where the wrong choice can decide your life or death. Understand their language and make the correct decision to stay alive...



Direction, illustrations, graphics, scenarios are all done by Yatsunagi.


In the Other World, all these mysterious men use an unusual set of words. Players must speculate the true meaning of those words through their expressions, gestures, the objects they are pointing at, and many more to successfully understand what they are talking about.

You may encounter different men anytime during your stay in this dark space. And not all of them are friendly. When danger strikes, you must make the correct decision to continue your journey searching for an escape.

Okay, I stumbled across this game ocassionally and damn... I love it so much!!! Can't wait for the full game! And ofc, here's some thoughts about characters we met at this chapter:

Mr Hood doesn't have too much interactions, but he already have some points for not killing us straight at the place. That bat looked scary lol

Mr Chopped Head is such a cutie!!! I would love to carry him around ALL the time!!! And I want to braid his hair honestly,,, 

Mr Silverhair looks like the smartest and responsible one lmao, since he is the one who explains a LOT. I hope we will have a chance to see him more tho, it seems like he prefers to stay at his room mostly...

Mr Crawling is The Man. It hurts that he is the character who ALWAYS gets hitted, he is just misunderstood :(((

And yes... Mr Scarletella is too fine to just kill us, I'm heartbroken.......

AND THIS DAMN MR GAP- if dangerous why smiling happily :) I hope we will get a chance to beat him with a crowbar

Thanks for your game! Waiting for updates!

there is an error unpacking the zip, can someone help

Hi! Would you mind to dm or join our discord and show a screenshot of this error so that I could help you, thanks a lot!

Hi sorry for the late reply, I tried to download it again but keep getting this error message. I'm not sure whether it's my computer issue.

 

I see. It seems that shows broken. Please try to download on BOOTH: https://booth.pm/zh-cn/items/4223778 . And if you could tell me the build you download on booth shows the same problem or not, I will be appriciate! Thank you!

Thank you for the link! I am now able to play the game <3

really nice <3

this remains my fav game ever! when will episode two be released? I truly can't wait for more

This game looks really cool, but I'm getting an error unpacking the zip as well :(

looks really cool, I do wanna play it, but whenever I try to open the zip, it says error/file damaged? Please help^^

I wish you guys would let it be on the phone so I can play it

Try Joiplay. You might need to find the right version for your phone, though.

On the playstore it said it's not made for my version only on the older version 

Try this link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/joiplay-1-20-027-81829260

It's what I use, but, you might want to use the 1.20.27 version of rpgmaker plugin. 

As a truly last resort you can try Winlator, but it's complicated to install and use, and takes up way more space:

I like Mr Gap so much;)  can't wait for the next episode ^-^!!

There's quite some problem with the saving. But overall I still love this game <333!!

Amazing horror experience with an unique mechanic worthy of the name Homicipher, I had lots of fun, even more when I realized I could get romantic with the ghost boys, deciphering is hard and equally fun but definitely not needed to progress, somehow I managed to survive till the end since the game is so well made.

The art in this game is beautiful, it has some nice eerie backgrounds but the character illustrations definitely take the cake since they are both scary and attractive at the same time, Yatsunagi is definitely a very talented artist I will be admiring their work from now on.

Can't wait for the full version, I'll definitely will wish list the game on Steam and wait patiently.

Keep up the good work!
