The developer behind mystery game "Return to Shironagasu Island" has found themselves in a predicament due to uncanny similarities with real-life events.

I mean… “scary island” is probably one of the top genres in Japanese horror/mystery fiction. Then again, I guess this is a case of “there’s no bad publicity”.
