RPG GAME # 12: THE GRAY GARDEN :)

The Gray Garden

The Gray Garden is a pseudo-RPG with a heavy story focus,
made by Deep-Sea Prisoner in RPG Maker 2000.

The Gray Garden: a world where angels and demons live in harmony.
Yosafire, a demon who likes flowers, enjoys a carefree life with her friends.
Then one day, a mysterious bat appears in the garden...


Warning: There are a number of depictions of violence and gore throughout the game.
However, none of it is presented in a "startling" way, and nothing too detailed is shown graphics-wise.

RPGHub is recommended to play on a Mac.

Usage Notes:
Posting playthrough videos or doing live streams of Deep-Sea Prisoner's works is forbidden.
The sole exception to this is "translations in the form of a video," i.e. playing the game and live-translating to another language.



Troubleshooting

Make sure to extract the game to its own folder instead of running directly from the ZIP file.
If you don't do so, any saves made will be lost the next time you run the game.


If you get a DirectDraw error, right-click the EXE, go to Properties, Compatibility, and try other compatibility modes.

If the font doesn't seem correct, download and install the MS Gothic font.

RPG Maker 2000 has inherent, unfixable control issues ("automatically moving in a direction" or "no buttons work").
The issues often seem to involve gamepads, or getting "stuck" on an input if Shift and a Numpad key are pressed simultaneously.
Thus, try fiddling with gamepads and your keyboard until it fixes. (Reinstalling the game likely won't help.)

Extras

The game is very straightfoward, but there are some things you might miss. (Spoiler warning!)

Extras



Garden Gray The

Deep-Sea Prisoner released Garden Gray The 0.00 for April Fools' Day 2014.
It's about ten minutes long and quite silly. And it shouldn't really spoil the main game at all.



Music

Below is a list of all the songs used in the game.
I don't have individual source links, but all songs can be found in the Music folder.
There are definite spoilers for their usage, so don't look until you've beaten the game!

The songs are from free resource sites, so they have no "official names" as far as this game goes.
The filenames are the titles given by the original sites, which don't necessarily relate to their usage in the game.
The "Usage" names are descriptions I made up based on where they're used - DSP had no part in deciding those.

Do not reupload these songs elsewhere without permission from their respective creators.

Fuh-roooze!
