I’m looking for a doujin d.gray-man fangame that was made in Japanese by the doujin circle moonlight cafe. the circle no longer has any online presence and the game is lost media.

what we know about the game:

  • was made by the doujin (i.e. indie) circle moonlight cafe, who produced at least 2 other d.gray-man fangames before this one (Strange house and Infinite Melody, which is also lost media aside from the guide book)
  • originally released December 29th 2011
  • LaviYuu sound novel / visual novel
  • completely in Japanese
  • received a physical release
  • moonlight cafe was ran by a user named rindou as per the Infinite Melody guidebook
  • the old moonlight cafe was this site when they were making Strange house, but this site somewhat still works

most of this info comes from the only source of info I have found for this game, which is a suruga-ya store listing. I’ve yet to see the game pop up anywhere else.

we also have this fuller image of the key visual which was uploaded to photobucket some years ago with no helpful description.

I would love to find a physical copy of this for sale on any Japanese secondhand sites but haven’t yet. I have yet to search on torrent sites or the like, so if you know of any JP places where someone may have uploaded the original game, please let me know. this game and basically everything about the circle is lost media so I’d like to preserve this bit of history. please email me at arimiazines@gmail.com if you have any info!
