List of the references made in the game! (Mini-SPOILER)

There are many references throughout the game. Did you manage to recognize them all?

1. Ao Oni. This one's pretty much obvious. You can find it in chapter one when you're researching about urban legends.
2. Forbidden Siren. Similar to Ao Oni's reference, but this one has a real-life website! Here's the link: http://www.shibito.com/e/p_2_hp.html
3. Silent Hill. The stun gun is actually a reference to Heather Mason's stun gun. Both were given by each protagonist's father due to their overprotective nature.
4. Amagami. In the hotel, you can find an actress named Haruka with a long straight black hair and blue eyes. Much recognizable if you've played the game/watched the anime/read the manga.
5. Project Gray. There's reference to the developer's next project in chapter one. Since it's going to leak a few infos, let's not talk about it, shall we?
6. Pewdiepie. There's a trigger in the big bedroom on chapter one when you've just been taken back to the mansion. Three barrels will explode and the date when Pewdiepie became the most suscribed YouTube channel will be shown.
7. Kamen Rider Kiva. The song Rainy Rose is an image song for a character in the tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Kiva. It is referencing to Maya, the 1986's Fangire Queen in the story.
8. Corpse Party. Kayako mentioned Corpse Party after she saw all the corpses in the underground archive in chapter 1.
9. Stephen Kings. The way Shirokage explains the final stage of the lost dimension's memory-based place is a reference to one of Stephen Kings' story about terror.
10. Ringu. In chapter 2, there's well in the alley. If you interact with it, you'll trigger the Sadako jumpscare. This was going to be one of the bad endings, but cancelled midway due to extreme laziness of the developer :)
11. The Legend of Zelda. In Taiga's room, you can find Link's Hylian Shield.
12. The Crooked Man. The way Yukiko kisses Haruto in chapter 4 is a reference to Sissy kissing David Hoover in the first act of The Crooked Man.
13. Yume Nikki. One of Shirokage's "patients" is a lucid dreamer which has many "dreams" inside her dream. Also, it is also mentioned once again in the normal end with Kayako. This is all a reference to Madotsuki.
14. Fatal Frame. Throughout the final chapter, documents regarding the relation between Kunihiko Asou (the inventor of Camera Obscura) and the Kirihara family can be found. In chapter zero, the Himuro mansion is also referenced!
15. AKB48. The reason why the number of savefile available is 48 files.

1. The Akamanto. Go to the women’s toilet on the 6th floor, you’ll soon notice that the lights suddenly went out. Check the last toilet stall and go back to the door to trigger the Akamanto’s haunting. Any choice you pick will lead to a unique death scene. In order to avoid getting killed, press the x button.

3. Meet the Actress. Still on the 2nd floor, just go to the north. Eventually, you’ll see a stage with a woman standing on the center. Talk to her. This is of course, a reference to an anime.
4. The Priest. Go to the 1st floor and go to the east. You’ll find a church inside the hotel. Talk to the priest and you’ll be given an option. This will affect the later chapter’s choice consequence.
