''GU-L'' is a Japanese UsefulNotes/RPGMaker {{horror video game|s}} released in March 2001 by Yubu Yakijo.

* AnyoneCanDie: And how! Aside from Tsutomu, who dies eating the meal that was meant for Keisuke, everyone else in the group (except [[spoiler: Eiji]]) can die if you don't do things correctly. For example:

** Irene can die if you [[spoiler: forget to patch up her arm when the group makes camp.]]
** Yuuta can die if you [[spoiler: failed to find a spare phone battery, as when he calls Keisuke he'll tell him where's he's going, but if you don't have the spare battery the call will cut out mid-conversation, and even if you know where Yuuta is being taken to you'll be too late to save him]].
** Tomo can die if you [[spoiler: fail to solve the puzzle, falling to her death onto a pit of spikes]].
** Takaya will always die unless [[spoiler: you keep everyone else alive to the end, as he lets himself burn inside the mansion along with his brother.]]
* BigEater: Tsutomu, to the point that he even has emergency snacks, and even offers to eat off of Keisuke's plate when the latter feels like not eating it. [[spoiler: It proves to be his downfall as he dies due to Keisuke's meal being poisoned.]]
* CreepyHousekeeper: Azumi, the blue-haired maid that welcomes the main cast into the mansion. Keisuke immediately has a bad feeling about her when he first meets her, and said feeling gets justified when it's revealed that she was the one who poisoned Keisuke's meal after Tsutomu dies after eating it. [[spoiler: This is only because she was MadeIntoASlave by Osada's experiments, as flashbacks reveal she was a kind woman who had no clue what was happening in the mansion at the time.]]

* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler: Azumi throws herself out the window near the end of the game after having the parasite that was controlling her removed, as penance for the actions she did while under it]].

* HorrorHunger: [[spoiler: Takaya’s constant, strangely unquenchable thirst?]] This turns out to be a desire for human blood. [[spoiler: Because of this, he chooses to burn inside the mansion alongside his brother in any ending that's not the True Ending.]]

* MultipleEndings: They mostly depend on whether you’re able to keep your fellow classmates alive with you; this is foreshadowed an earlier conversation between Takaya and Keisuke, where Keisuke insists that the best way to approach a zombie video game they both play is by minimizing human casualties.

* OurGhoulsAreCreepier: The game’s title is derived from the GU-L Project, one of several projects attempting to create powered superhumans. The GU-L Project’s ghouls have red eyes and a taste for human flesh.

* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler: In the true ending of the game, a news report informs the player that the student Eiji Kanzaki had committed suicide 2 days before the bus accident, and Minamisawa is the one impersonating him through the use of his flame.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler: Takaya gains a red eye when he rejoins the party after seemingly being shot and dropped into the basement for dead. His brother has them too.]]
* TurnBasedCombat: Like many RPG Maker games, this is how'' GU-L''’s combat is formatted.

* WombLevel: The inside of Abadon; he’s essentially a stomach the size of a mini-dungeon, forcing Takaya to fight his way out before he's digested.

%%Note: 2001 is my best guess of when this game was released based on context. If someone knowledgeable can pin down the exact year, please correct the date and delete this note. Same goes for if I’ve misspelled any character names. Thanks!

Average highschooler Keisuke Akahashi’s final class trip goes horribly awry as the bus holding him and all his classmates suffers a horrible crash. Stranded out in the stormy wilderness, he and eleven of his classmates are forced to take shelter inside a creepy mansion in the middle of nowhere.
