The release shows a small Taiwanese indie built on a TRPG replay getting a paid Steam launch, with the silhouette cast and branching endings doing the work that a bigger budget usually covers.

Taiwanese indie developer Rao Fenxiao released the yuri mystery comedy adventure Bloody Yuri: Serial Killer, Don't Get Between the Yuri for PC on Steam on September 15. Lily, who has a crush on her friend Sui, declares war on the culprit after a murder at the inn on their hot spring trip. Everyone other than the two leads appears as a silhouette, and choices branch the story into 10 endings. It costs 624 yen, discounted to 499 yen until September 29.
The Steam page describes a two-chapter structure. Chapter 1 is a dramatized version of a TRPG replay by the developer and a friend, with the original scenario by Marikoro, used with permission. The rest of the case is the developer's own invention.
Play is overhead, with the player controlling characters while working the mystery. Any character outside the main pair is drawn as a silhouette, which keeps the culprit hidden and lets the game claim anyone might be the killer.
