Black Closet

Black Closet combines traits of a visual novel and a strategy RPG. Players play the role of Elsa, a student in a prestigious school for girls named St. Claudine's. She must solve procedurally-generated mysteries in order to increase her leadership abilities, using a group of fellow student assistants. However, one of these students is a traitor, and Elsa must find their identity.

The main character, Elsa, is sent to an elite all-girls school, where she becomes the student council president. Her job is to track down students who are committing misdemeanors and scandals to maintain the school's integrity.

The game also has yuri elements to its story, letting players romance five potential women.

The game was developed by Hanako Games founder Georgina Bensley, who was a full-time independent game developer for 10 years prior to the game's release. It was created in a customized fork of the Ren'Py engine. The game was initially prototyped on paper to determine the gameplay concept's feasibility.

The game took roughly three years to develop. The concept for the game was inspired by the espionage work in Floor 13 as well as the developer's own experience in an Episcopalian private school, with some of the situations in the game being inspired by real-life events she had seen.

Black Closet was well received by critics.

Katherine Cross of Rock, Paper, Shotgun said the game "punctures misogynist stereotypes around teen dramas" and that the characters "who at first blush appear to be tropes" later become more interesting. Graham Smith of the same publication said that the game was a "smart, well-written, choice-and-consequences game that deserves more attention".
