RPG GAME # 14: MOGEKO CASTLE

 
 
 
Mogeko Castle is a "prosciutto adventure game" made by Deep-Sea Prisoner in RPG Maker VX Ace.
It's not an RPG - there are no battles, and the story is totally linear.

Yonaka Kurai, an extremely ordinary high schooler. She takes the usual train home.
Though it's all ordinary, today is somewhat special. Today, her beloved brother comes home.
But after waking from a nap, the train has stopped at an unfamiliar station...


WARNING:
Deep-Sea Prisoner rates this game "ages 15 and up."
(This rating is Japan-centric and would likely be more strict by other countries' standards; 18 and up may be more appropriate.)
It is very violent and contains instances of implied sexual assault, with the bad endings being some of the most severe parts.
I would advise against playing if you think you may be upset by such content.
Deep-Sea Prisoner also insists that players should be able to keep reality and fiction separate.

Download Mogeko Castle 1.12 | (Mirror)
(Chrome may falsely flag the download as malicious, but it's safe to ignore.)

Installation of the RPG Maker VX Ace RTP (not VX) is required to play.

RPGHub is recommended to play on a Mac.
(Please report any issues with RPGHub to RPGOSX.)


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.


"RPG Maker VX Ace RTP is not installed" means you need the RPG Maker VX Ace RTP.
This is distinct from the VX RTP which other games may require. The download link is up above.


Some have experienced crashes during the final chase scene in Chapter 6.
There are many events in that map, so it most likely occurs because lower-end computers aren't able to handle it.
If it consistently crashes, download this save, copy it into the SAVE DATA folder, and load slot 20 to skip to after the chase.

Though the game is quite straightforward, there are two parts in particular which require some trial and error.
So I figured I'd be nice and give the answers here, if you want to "spoil" yourself.
