Hi! This is the first time I've ever posted here, so sorry if I make any mistakes. There's two Japanese mobile games that I think are lost. They're both based on shows created by Naomi Iwata.

The first image is from a game based his work Gregory Horror Show, and the second image is based on his other show Midnight Horror School. I don't know for sure if they're lost because all of the information I've found has been in Japanese. I have some other sprites and screenshots if they're needed. Thanks!

They're probably lost (well, not lost, since the publishers and developers almost definitely still have copies, but unavailable to the public). Despite the fact that Japanese feature phones are still relatively common in Japan, when modern American phones like iOS and Android went over there, most game companies discontinued most of their i-mode, EZWeb, Yahoo Keitai, etc. gaming services, making a LOT of stuff unavailable.

The vast majority of feature phone titles from that time period are gone.

It's a good read, imo. Big bummer a library of games like this is both un-emulatable AND lost.

Should we start adding these?

Hi, I did some more digging and found this article all the way back from 2004 about one of the games.

www.itmedia.co.jp/games/gsnews/0408/17/news08.html

Not only is there a new photo showing gameplay, but there's a lot of information about the Gregory Horror Show game. Of course it's all in Japanese though.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, sorry.
