Strange house - DGM doujin fangame guide book scans

so in January I found a physical copy of a 2010 d.gray-man doujin visual novel called Strange house by the doujin group MOONLIGHT CAFE. the game is a romance visual novel where you play as Lavi and can date Kanda while out on a mission with him to, you guessed it, a strange house.

the game is completely in Japanese and almost all mention of it online has gone away as it's a 14 year old game, so suffice to say finding anything about this game has been difficult. it won't be a complete mystery now though as I have the game and the guide book!

so... let's look inside this guide book!

before we crack it open, here's the scans of the DVD cover slip. the outside is similar to the guide book (see above) but the inside is an adorable collection of chibis.

now let's look at the guide book! all of these scans are at a high dpi so open them up in a new tab if you'd like to see them up close. also, most of this is in Japanese and I won't be able to translate a majority of it. if you'd like to translate it, please feel free to and add it to the post!

D.Gray-man LaviYu Only

Windows only sound novel type adventure game

(side note- visual novels are usually called adventure games in Japan. sound novel is another term for them that was more popular to use years ago)

The next two pages go over the system menus- the main menu, the CG gallery (where you can view cut scene artwork), in game menu, save & load, and the options menus.

Now that we've gone over the system, it's on to the character bios! Lavi is up first as he's the player character followed by Kanda and the finder Doma.

(somehow Kanda ends up in a bridal gown in this game)

(she has doll arms and legs? it says she's the other guy's sister)

(I have no clue what her name is suppose to be. Yuno Moreta? Yunoo Moreeta?? I'm guessing it's trying to be like Yu Kanda??? Allen's bio here mentions him being the 14th and that he doesn't appear much as he wasn't assigned to this mission)

(Lenalee's basically says that she's an exorcist and Komui's younger sister, but mentions that she might be seen on the mission in front of Lavi? the guy on the right was apparently meant to be something like a love rival in the MVP [think beta build] for the game)

after the character bios is the route guides!

while not every visual novel has choices or multiple endings, visual novels that do have multiple endings refer to them as "routes" or "scenarios", i.e. the series of choices you make to reach each ending. this game has 4 routes, each with a different artist.

scenario A is called Dolly and written by 響夜 and illustrated by Guriko.

scenario B is called Coming Home and written by 響夜 and illustrated by Seiko and others.

scenario C is.... something about a bracelet? it's written by 秋吉 and illustrated by Bonnu.

scenario D is called lonely travels / loneliness while traveling and is written by 木花 and illustrated by ネコ科ノコ.

to be honest this is a lot more than I was expecting! we're already at 7 team members and haven't touched the programming or music aspects. I also have no clue how long this game is - there's only a few choices listed here to get each route so each ending could be 5k words (short) or over 50k words (long).

now onto staff!

sadly, I won't be able to translate these as it's a majority kanji, but here they are.

and that's it! there's a lot of cute art here that I hope will be saved on the internet now that the sites for MOONLIGHT CAFE's games are mostly defunct.

personally as a visual novel developer I find it amazing that they were able to not only make such a good looking fan visual novel in 2010 with multiple endings but to get so many people on board and make it all work out. and then to make a physical release of it! (side note- I'm still unsure what engine this was made in! I'm thinking kirikiri but I'm not sure)

I have the game set up and am able to play it, so at some point I'll share some footage of it on this tag on my blog. I'm hesitant to put the exe online as this was a paid game at one point and the doujin circle seems to be disbanded, but I might if there's interest (is this considered a no-no for doujins? I'm unfamiliar on etiquette for doujins, so some advice on that would be appreciated if you have any)

[dgrayrarepair]

Hi! The link to the list of rarepair ships unfortunately doesn't work for me (maybe that's because I'm on phone?). Is there a way I can have it please 🥺💛 ? (Also, I just started reading D.Gray-Man again and I'd be hyped to participate eheh :>)

Hello! ^^

Sorry about that! Sometimes the pages don't load on mobile. But here are the rules for what is and is not considered a rare pair.

What is a rare pair:

Rare pairs include any pairing that does not appear on the AO3 auto-fill for Relationship selection in the Sort and Filter option. (AKA, not a popular ship).

What is not a rare pair:

Yullen (Kanda x Allen) Laven (Lavi x Allen) Yuuvi or Laviyuu (Kanda x Lavi) LaviLena (Lavi x Lenalee) Poker Pair (Allen x Tyki) Pieshipping (Allen x Link) Yulma (Kanda x Alma) Lucky (Lavi x Tyki) AlLena (Allen x Lenalee)

Also, it's important to note that ALL OT3+ ships are considered rare pairs, even if the combined ships are "popular".

Example: Laven, Yullen, and LaviYuu are not allowed for Rare Pair Week, as they are popular ships. But Lavi x Allen x Kanda is allowed, because the ship isn't actually popular. If you're looking for a specific OT3 material, it's hard to find (hence, it's considered a rarepair).

Basically, as long as the ship isn't on the list above, you're free to create for it. I hope this makes sense. If you still have questions, please let me know! And I'm excited to see what you will create for the event!

I plotted out my next long fic and it came to 17 chapters. I’m scared that that doesn’t seem very long to me anymore.

The fic is omegaverse and has lucky, pieshipping, and yulma (with some ex-laviyuu and unrequited laven on the side).

At this point, I’m going to piss off literally everyone in the DGM fandom with this one. Wish me luck. 💋
