Mogeko Castle
a surreal horror game created by Deep-sea Prisoner in the RPG maker.
Originally; the game was made in RPG Maker 2000 and released on April 1st in 2012 and the game has been remade in RPG Maker VX and released in 2014.
Yonaka Kurai is an ordinary girl in her second year of high school. Today is the day that her beloved big brother, Shinya, returns home. Boarding the train she ends up falling asleep on the way home. Unfortunately, she awakens to an unfamiliar train station, and feels as if something is watching her.
While she looks around, she encounters some odd creatures with feline features which are called "Mogekos". They are strange beings who are disturbingly obsessed with high school girls, sex, and prosciutto. Soon, Yonaka finds herself trapped in the Mogeko castle; encountering countless Mogeko, which some choose to assist her.
Gameplay
The original Mogeko Castle had graphics similar to The Gray Garden and Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, all of which had been made on RPG Maker 2000. It played in the same manner - with battle mechanics.
The remake of Mogeko Castle removed the battle mechanics. The game is explored using the arrow keys. Much of the game can be interacted with using either the Space, Enter, or Z key to confirm actions. The inventory can be opened with the Escape or X key, and navigated using the arrow keys. Each item in the inventory has a picture inscribed in a bubble.
Characters
yonaka kurai
a high school girl and the protagonist of Mogeko Castle. She is the younger sister of Shinya Kurai.
Yonaka is depicted as a doting younger sister who loves her brother. She admires her brother greatly, wishing for nothing more than to see and be together with him again, due to him leaving her and their family sometime when she was in Junior High.
She is a very serious, kind and accepting girl; she was quick to accept cooperating with Defect Mogeko, despite not being wholly aware of the reasons concerning his imprisonment.
​
shinya kurai
Yonaka Kurai's elder brother and, arguably, one of the main antagonists of Mogeko Castle. He is what awaits Yonaka should she make it back to her home. When the player first meets him in Yonaka's flashback, Shinya seems to be the type that spaces out. He loves Yonaka, but when she meets him right after escaping from Mogeko Castle, he wants to kill her, causing her to run away and end up back where she had just fled from. It appears that this bloodthristy personality is not who he truly is; during Mogeko Castle's happy ending, he returns to his old self after Yonaka stabs him, just before he dies
defect mogeko
one of the Special Mogekos in Mogeko Castle. He acts as a guide for Yonaka Kurai.
He used to get along with King mogeko, but came into disagreement with him, being branded as a "defect Mogeko" and subsequently imprisoned.
He is considered to be a "defect" by the Mogekos, although there isn't anything defective about him save for deviations from the rest of the Mogekos.
MOGE-KO
a major antagonist in Mogeko Castle. She is a humanoid version of a Mogeko. She is sporadically violent and attempts to hunt Yonaka Kurai down throughout a large portion of Mogeko Castle, following their first meeting on the fourth floor of the castle. Moge-ko may resemble a high school girl in appearance, but in mannerism she resembles a disturbed psychopath. Like most Mogekos she is deeply perverted, and has a professed like for high school girls. Beyond that, there is little that connects her to the rest of her species
king mogeko
another one of the antagonists of Mogeko Castle. He is the leader of the Mogekos, supposedly. Just like the other Mogekos, his hobby is anything erotic, and he likes girls. He also hates slugs. He's very childish and sadistic, as well.
mogeko
are the main antagonists of Mogeko Castle. Each one is slightly different (some are locked up because of this), but the majority of them are very perverted, have countless books of pornographic content, (the player can press the enter key on most bookshelves and a text box will appear saying "Got porn!") have an unusual obsession for high school girls, and have a disgusting obsession with prosciutto.
