'''La Danse Macabre''' (ダンス・マカブル ''Dansu Makaburu'') is an freeware horror game by Komugibata in 2014.
Alouette is an ordinary yet pious girl living in Medieval Europe. One day she wakes up in an eerie abandoned cathedral, tainted by black grime and rats. With a great desire to escape and be reunited with her boyfriend Lazare, Alouette is forced to venture through the cathedral. But little does she know about the awful truth of why she's there in the first place. Will Alouette muster enough courage to leave the cathedral? Or will she fall into despair and be consumed by the plague?
[[https://www.freem.ne.jp/win/game/7747 The game]] is available in Japanese only.
