About 春はあけぼの、我はバケモノ。 - Spring at Dawn, I Am a Monster.

“You did the right thing. So why is everything falling apart?”

You are a Japanese language teacher.

One day, concerned about a student who has stopped coming to school, you decide to visit her at home.

What awaits you there are girls crying out for help—and a reality that cannot be saved by good intentions alone.

Choose your words. Choose your distance. Choose their futures.

Will your kindness save these girls?
Or will it become another cage?

Three girls. Sixteen endings.

Spring at Dawn, I Am a Monster. is a multi-route psychological horror visual novel about a teacher and three girls who have stopped attending school.

There are no knives.
Only human nature.

Features

■ Three Girls, Three Different Stories

Dependency. Obsession. Family problems. Loneliness.

Nanatsu Kokorome, Nyako Maigo, and Ajimi Konoha.

Each girl carries different circumstances—and secrets she cannot tell anyone.

What will you say to them? How far will you step into their lives?

Your choices as their teacher will change your relationship with each girl.

■ Three Girls and 16 Endings

Each girl has five different endings.

After witnessing all 15 of their endings, one final story awaits:

The Teacher Route.

After trying so hard to save these girls,
who—or what—was the teacher all along?

■ A Story Where “Good Intentions” Can Destroy Someone

The right words and the right distance do not always save someone.

Helping them. Watching over them. Walking away.
Being needed.

Even when you believe you’ve made the “right” choice,
something may slowly begin to break.

■ Psychological Horror Without Relying on Jump Scares

Rather than relying on sudden loud noises or jump scares, the horror slowly closes in through conversations, silence, expressions, and changing relationships.

■ A World Inspired by Spring and Classical Japanese Literature

“Spring, at dawn—”

A monochrome world accented with red.
Beautiful spring scenery.

And within it, a growing sense that something is terribly wrong.

Experience a beautiful yet unsettling story of spring.
