Here are some little-known facts about this game!

• During first drafts, Tenome was originally designed as a completely different idea! It was going to be a sci-fi horror game based on the Blade Runner movies.

• Inside the female bathroom, the words “Red or Blue?” is written on one of the stalls. This is a reference to another Japanese folklore legend - the Aka Manto!

• In fact, Tenome was originally designed to include many other types of Japanese folklore creatures as background NPCs, but these were abandoned due to time constraints. :( But I made sure to eventually include at least one reference to another creature!

• The Tenome enemy was originally designed to be headless, but was changed due to the fact that if it had no head, it couldn’t make scary screaming sounds.

• Instead of a square loop, the level design was originally going to be vertically layered like a real Japanese school wing, but was abandoned due to AI navigation/detection issues.

Hope you found these interesting! :)
