After a year, Dear Mariko: Crimson, the pay-what-you-want version has been released, thanks very much to the efforts of @baka-baru, who graciously helped with the game! This version has brand new character and CG art, and an additional short playable epilogue with 4 endings, shedding a little light on the overarching story as a whole, as a stinger towards a future game.

Feel free to think of this extension as a 'tip-jar' of sorts for everyone who has enjoyed the free games I have made so far.  Thank you all once again for your support!

The Free version includes:
* The full main story
* 3 endings
* 3 CGs

The Crimson version (pay what you want) includes:

* Brand new character and CG art
* An additional epilogue
* Double the gameplay
* 7 endings

Took me some time to get the "TRUE" ending. But the game's cool.

I still don't like how the timer is still counting while you dialog/interact with objects in these engines, grrr.

I was not expecting that ending at all. This was a very good game.

good horror game ,normal ending is like the best out of the three

That twist genuinely caught me off guard. Loved it. Excellent little horror game, I will definitely be picking up the Crimson version in the near future.

Could you maybe make a guide to the endings? Also, after reaching the epilouge, it won't let me use the "start" button any more, only the "load".

how do i get the good ending i cant hide the letter?

if ur playing the free version, there is no good ending, oni true normal n bad ending. For bad u needa grab a knife n hide in cupboard

Is there a way to make it full screen?

I didn't get what happened tho. If that girl was Mariko then why is she acting so crazy?

(+1)

SPOILERS BELOW



Thanks for playing! The answer is that she was not so much acting crazy as much as she is determined to confront her boyfriend's stalker. She has the right to act in self-defense in her own home, and from the stuck door she knows immediately that the stalker is in her home.

I played the free ver and Iiked  how the story ended like...  haha XD

Hello!
Ive been trying to load your game on Linux through Wine, and the text doesnt show, probably because I dont have the font on my computer.
Could you tell me which font you used on the dialog so I can download it, please?

Hi, it should be Georgia!

why is the game taking 4+ hours to download? -.-

Hi! That would likely be an internet connection issue. The game is very small and will not take long to download.
