8''Toshoshitsu no Neversista'' (''The Library Room of Neversista'') is a 2010 mystery VisualNovel made by the amateur group TARHS.

10The story begins with the death of a student during a stormy summer night, a boy who leaves to take a picture of the rising waters of the river but never returns. The search party that is formed to find him only finds his camera by the riverbank, his belongings, and after several days of searching, one of his shoes. In the end, he is treated as a casualty of the river, but other, more sinister rumors about his death begin to emerge. Namely, that the five friends who used to live in "the Haunted Tower" with him -- one of them, some of them, or even all of them -- may have had ''something'' to do with the boy's cursed death.
11
12Two people have set out to find out the truth about what happened. The first is the student's older brother, who receives a mysterious letter about his brother's death and sets out to investigate, only to fall into the hands of five students who surround and interrogate him and won't let him leave. The other is an idealistic assistant teacher just arrived in town, who receives a cryptic warning about the five students he shares the dorm called "The Haunted Tower" with, to "never think of those five as children". Torn between paranoia and a desire to trust his students, the teacher finds a book titled "Neversista", which holds a startling truth...
