- A new horror adventure depicting ghost stories and mysteries surrounding a vanished university building
- A single story with no multiple endings, horror movie-like immersion… Releasing June 18
NoiceKit Co., Ltd., run by Japanese one-person indie developer Sasaki, will release the new horror adventure game ‘Building 0: Hakuei University’ on PC (Steam) on June 18.
An ordinary university campus by day, a cursed ruin at night that no one is allowed to enter. ‘Baekyeong University Building 0’ is a horror adventure that tracks down the truth behind ghost stories passed down among the students. It delivers a horror experience reminiscent of a Japanese horror film through the anxiety and silent terror that permeate the familiar school landscape.
Track down the truth behind ‘Building No. 0,’ the building that disappeared from the university map.
The player becomes a second-year student in the Spiritual Exploration Club at Baekyeong University and covers campus ghost stories and writes articles. The subject of the investigation is a mysterious building known on campus as a “place that must never be touched.”
At first, it appears to be a simple ghost story, but as the investigation begins, a series of inexplicable events occur. Voices emanating from spaces where no one should be, unidentified sounds, and bizarre phenomena gradually draw the player into a deep mystery.
The game takes place as you move between two spaces: a peaceful university campus and a cursed ruin. During the day, you gather information and take photos for club activities, but the moment you take just one step, the atmosphere instantly shifts to horror.
An immersive horror experience completed with a single ending
The biggest feature of Baekyoung University Building 0 is its single-route story structure that excludes multiple endings.
The development team focused on creating a sense of tension and immersion akin to watching a horror movie from beginning to end by concentrating on a single story rather than branching based on choices.
Players track down the truth behind the incident through activities such as taking photos, gathering information, and writing articles. Everyday college life and the exploration of eerie ruins are seamlessly connected, and the story-driven progression enhances immersion.
Psychological horror created by a realistic campus and the sound of silence
The visuals of Baekyoung University Building 0 focused on realistic spatial representation rather than flashy staging. It creates an eerie atmosphere through a 3D environment reminiscent of an actual Japanese university campus, darkened hallways, and details of a dusty abandoned building.
In particular, the player’s role of taking photos and recording records intertwines with the realistic spatial staging to deliver a sense of immersive horror.
Sound is also utilized as an important horror device. Footsteps echoing in the empty hallway, an unidentified voice heard from somewhere, creaking doors, and sudden silence create constant tension. The released official PV also confirms how this sound design shapes the game’s atmosphere.
Japanese Solo Developer’s Debut Title Targets Asian Market with Korean Language Support
NoiceKit Co., Ltd. is a studio run by Japanese one-person indie game developer Sasaki, and Hakuei University Building No. 0 is the studio’s first commercial title.
In particular, the inclusion of Korean as an official supported language from the first day of release is noteworthy. Given the steady popularity of horror adventure games featuring schools and ghost stories in Korea, this is interpreted as a strategy actively targeting Korean users.
Wishlist additions are already pouring in on the Steam community, with users expressing reactions such as, “The theme of a ruined university campus is fresh,” and “I look forward to an experience akin to a horror movie.”
