💾 GAME TITLE: Signals of The Graveflower 👾 Platform: SNES / Never Released (Prototype Found 1996, ROM Date Unknown) 🎮 Genre: Haunted JRPG / Side-scroll Action Hybrid 🩸 Developer: Tengushee Interactive / The VOCC 🕯️ Tagline: “It remembers you.”

⌘ Signals of the Graveflower is a haunted 16-bit JRPG where nostalgia turns against you. You awaken in Bitvale, a pastel graveyard of neon blossoms—each one a humming save point—and are warned by the mysterious Caretaker: “Don’t play too long. We play back.” As you explore, you uncover The Cartridged Ones—souls trapped in corrupted data, their memories fractured into quests and ghostly sprites. Equip a pixel-ninja suit to battle glitch-echoes of your childhood, meet the Pixel Saints—virtuous fragments of lost code—and master the Fae Combo, a rhythm mechanic that syncs your heartbeat to the soundtrack. When your avatar dies and the screen reads “1 LIVES LEFT,” you continue as your own ghost, rewriting the world at the cost of your memories. Join the rogue Fae as they weaponize music and fight back against the spreading corruption of the Graveflower, a living program blooming beneath the ROM. In the end, you must choose: burn the data and end the world—or merge with it forever. Finish without dying twice, and you’ll unlock the truth: this cartridge is only one petal… and others are still blooming. ⧉
