History VisualNovel / SpiritHunterDeathMarkII

* MakingASplash: The first spirit, Hanako, can manifest hoses that can shoot jets of water strong enough to ''dismember'' people.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Poor Toshihiko Izumi. First he gets his [[AnArmAndALeg hand cut off]] and then he's ripped apart from the inside-out by water hoses erupting [[EyeScream out of his eyes.]]
* EyeScream: When you find Izumi again after yelling at him to run from the music room, you discover his body [[spoiler: and hoses protruding from his eye holes that his eyes are literally pushed out.]]

* ToiletHorror: Considering that the first case is based on the UrbanLegend of Hanako of the Toilet, this is a given. Major events in Chapter 1 include finding a student's murdered body in a bathroom stall and getting attacked by Hanako soon after.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Toshihiko Izumi is killed soon after his introduction, making his the first death in the game.

%%* StockShoujoBullyingTactics: Hanako of the Toilet seemed to have been a victim of this, if the insulting graffiti you find in the bathrooms are any indication. How you deal with the graffiti is essential to surviving your first encounter against her.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Yashiki finds himself the target of The Departed's affections who has deemed him a worthy candidate to be her husband.

** [[spoiler: After Michiho's AccidentalMurder, Douryou reveals to Yashiki that Michiho developed feelings for him. How aware Yashiki was of this depends on the player's responce, though regardless of the dialogue picked, Yashiki will not reciprocate Michiho's feelings.]]
** [[spoiler: In the true ending, the real Michiho reveals that her and Douryou have inherited The Departed's love for Yashiki, much to his chagrin.]]

* StockShoujoBullyingTactics: Hanako of the Toilet seemed to have been a victim of this, if the insulting graffiti you find in the bathrooms are any indication. How you deal with the graffiti is essential to surviving your first encounter against her.

* OldSchoolBuilding: The old part of Konoehana Academy, which is of course creepy and haunted.

This game retains the PointAndClick AdventureGame format of previous games, with a few new twists. Navigating the school is now done through SideView, allowing the player more freedom to move around and talk to NPC's. When examining points of interest, the game transfers to the familiar first-person perspective. Another new mechanic are the "Suspensive Acts", which combine the multiple-choice aspect of the first game's "Life or Death Choices" and the item combination aspect of climactic spirit confrontations. The player will need to choose who uses what to perform what action, with individual character stats influencing success rates on top of needing to choose the correct answer. Players can also invest in [[PointBuildSystem Yashiki's stats]] to help him during these "Suspensive Acts".

''Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II'' (''シ二ガミ: シビト マギレ Shinigami: Shibito Magire'') is a supernatural horror game developed by Experience, Inc for the Platform/NintendoSwitch, Platform/Playstation4, Platform/Playstation5, and Platform/{{Steam}}. It is the third installment in the VisualNovel/SpiritHunter series, released in Japan in 2022 and worldwide in 2024.

* PointBuildSystem: Like in the first game, there are four stats that every character has: Power, Intelligence, Spirit Power, and Dexterity. Unlike the first game, where the stats were mostly cosmetic or hints for perceptive player, ''Death Mark II'' uses these stats in gameplay for calculating success rates in "Suspensive Acts". As the PlayerCharacter, Yashiki is the only character you can invest points into to improve his stats, so he'll have a better chance surviving these situations.

* ToiletHorror: Considering that the first case is based on the UrbanLegend of Hanako of the Toilet, this is a given. A major event in Chapter 1 is finding a student's murdered body in a bathroom stall.
