Yomichi:Source
Yomichi : Source is a first-person psychological horror mod.
It is developed using the Source engine 2013.

You will walk to your home on foot, strolling through the streets at night.Overall, the map is dark. You are frightened and aim to clear your past sins.The set time in the game is from 11pm to 4am in the early morning.Hypnosis and brainwashing from sectarian groups. Attacks by creatures created in the protagonist's brain. And you fight against your flashbacks, hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.
Staged recreations of panic attacks based on interviews with victims.
Self-harm.Acts of slaughter within the fantasy.Reenactment of conversations with brainwashed people.
You can experience the pain of a sect defector.
Background of development
I have wanted to create games and mods since around 2016.
However, I had problems with computer specifications and personal finances. So I could not start developing mods.
Today, that has been resolved without problems.We can work on the development of mods.and I have had a variety of experiences before working on the development.
Unqualified hypnotist.
Game test player at a games-related company.
Staff member at a games retailer.
Event manager in a food company.
Subsequently, I joined sectarian groups. became mentally ill and encountered some trouble.In my experience, brainwashing by sectarian groups and after leaving the group was unfortunate.I think that I can use my experience of being a member of this sect group for something else.I initially planned an e-book or book. But I thought it would be more interesting to leave it as a game mod, so I started this project, Yomichi : Source.
Development
The mod is based on Source SDK 2013.
Textures and 3DCG models will use textures and models that already exist in the mod development tools, as well as photos taken and modelled by our team.
There will be 10 maps in this mod. Each map will be separated into chapters; the main chapters of the mod will be up to eight.
Development progress report blogs will be uploaded by category. For example, when one map is completed, an article will be written about the map. We will also write articles when weapon animations and NPC creature animations and modelling are somewhat complete.
The development time for a mod can be as early as one year and six months and as long as two years. Maybe there will be delays due to some problems, it's a long time until the mod is finished. Please hold on to it for a while.
Media
Screenshots of the map (Chapter 0) currently under development are available.
The map begins with the protagonist waking up in an underpass in Matsuyama, Ehime.
You discover that the walls are changing as you go through the underpass.
You do not understand that it is the world in your head.
