What frightens Haruaki Fusaishi is stranded in Yasumizu, a remote mountain village wrapped in a mist no one can leave, just as the feast begins: a werewolf hides among the villagers and they are hunted down one by one, while he dies again and again and wakes to live it all over.

Content: violence, murder, abuse, sexual content, gore.

Raging Loop is a Japanese horror visual novel by KEMCO. Haruaki Fusaishi arrives in the remote village of Yasumizu as an ominous tradition called the feast begins and a werewolf starts killing the villagers one by one. Each time he dies he loops back, and he uses what he has learned to find the killer.

About Raging Loop

Raging Loop was published by KEMCO and released on Steam in August 2017, with Japanese voices and English text. Its makers call it a thrilling psychological horror story and a tribute to Japanese folklore.

Haruaki Fusaishi, a young man, rides his motorbike down an unknown road and arrives in Yasumizu, a secluded settlement in the mountains of Japan surrounded by a heavy mist that stops anyone from leaving. He is drawn into a local tradition known as the feast: among the villagers lurks the werewolf, sworn to take revenge on everyone, and the villagers gather each day to decide who it might be.

It plays like a werewolf party game told as a mystery. You read, choose and watch the village turn on itself, and a flowchart tracks every choice. Haruaki is stuck in a loop: each death sends him back, and some deaths reward him with Keys that open new paths toward the killer's identity. After the ending, Revelation Mode lets you see the characters' inner thoughts.

The store page warns of cruel violence, abuse, murders and sexual content, mostly told through text or indirect images. It suits players who like long mystery visual novels and Japanese folk horror.
