Most characters in the game have designs inspired in part by certain animals (such as Mary Anta, based on the Manta ray, and the owl-inspired Twyla Sophio) and fall somewhere between LittleBitBeastly and just evoking AnimalMotifs. Yet Mary and Reginald's trip to the aquarium shows that there are also regular animals in the setting, including the aforementioned Manta ray.

''Cemetery Mary'' is a visual novel by Creator/{{arcadekitten}} taking place in the same universe as ''VideoGame/ItsNotMeItsMyBasement'' and ''VideoGame/{{Crowscare}}''. The titular Mary, nicknamed "Cemetery Mary" because she loves to visit the cemetery and hang around funerals, is a sweet girl who likes to comfort those who've lost their loved ones. Rumors of a SerialKiller known as the "Blackwood Butcher" begin circulating around town, and soon her parents vanish out of sight. Moving in with her cousin Crowven- who's parents themselves mysteriously died- she finds on her phone a Mystery Number who tells her that her parents are okay, but the mystery number cannot say where they or her parents are, or much of anything.
Mary, in her search to find her parents, comes across two more people; Twila, an anti-social AmateurSleuth who's taken it upon herself to find the Butcher; and Reginald, a bespectacled bookworm who takes a liking to Mary. She also soon discovers a hidden ability of hers- the power to talk to ghosts.
The visual novel consists of three routes following one of the three major characters- Crowven, Twila, and Reginald- each with their own storyline and ties to the mystery, plus a True Ending route unlocked upon reaching any ending. There are many choices, each affecting the ultimate outcome. Will Mary solve the mysteries of Blackwood? Or will she join the spirits and meet an untimely end?
