The indie game developer Nique has launched the dating horror visual novel “Before You Disappear” on Steam today (September 26, 2025). The price is 470 yen (tax included), and a 10% discount will be available for purchases during the first two weeks after release.
This game follows a high school boy named Akito who forms emotional bonds with three ghost girls living in an abandoned school, learns about their unresolved attachments, and helps guide them toward peace. While it blends romance with horror elements, guiding these spirits to pass on also means facing inevitable farewells—making the protagonist’s evolving emotions throughout this journey particularly compelling. Making wrong choices may accelerate the ghost girls’ spectral decay, potentially leading to intense, horror-style outcomes.
As previously announced, the game features approximately 10 different endings and offers around three hours of gameplay.

Guide ghost girls haunting an abandoned school to peace. Romantic horror visual novel “Before You Disappear” launches on Steam September 26, 2025
Indie game developer Nique has launched the Steam release of “Before You Disappear,” a PC title, at 6:00 PM on September 26, 2025. The price is 470 yen (tax included). For two weeks following launch, a special release celebration sale offers a 10% discount.
This romantic horror visual novel centers around helping three ghost girls living in an abandoned school find peace by connecting with them emotionally and uncovering their unresolved attachments.
Akito, a high school student who transferred schools due to personal circumstances, accidentally stumbles into the very same abandoned school—where spirits remain trapped by unfulfilled desires.
“Please help me,” says Nanoha, one of the ghost girls he encounters. “Help either Tsukushi or Iroha find peace.”
Driven by his own desire to live a life that helps others, Akito agrees and begins visiting the haunted school regularly in an effort to guide these spirits toward passing on.

Game Features
The three heroines in this game are all ghosts—already deceased. Forming deep emotional connections with them and guiding them to peace ultimately means saying goodbye. The rare, almost miraculous bond between a human and a ghost who cannot share the same time will undoubtedly impact both Akito and the ghost girls deeply. Watch how their stories unfold.
Because ghosts are delicate beings, making wrong choices may cause their spectral decay to accelerate—leading to dramatic and intense outcomes.
The game features full voice acting for all characters except the protagonist. Enjoy the vibrant personalities of the unique cast living in the abandoned school.
