Silver Thread: Episode I

Alicia’s case, as the page tells it

The itch title is now “Silver Thread : Episode I.” The description asks whether ghosts exist, then introduces an exorcist who doubts them. For Alicia Wilkershire, that doubt is how she gets closer to the truth. Her latest job sounded like another ordinary case. She met the client with her usual pessimism. The page stops on the question of whether the job really is ordinary.

Features printed under that blurb: about a half-hour of play, 2 endings, and cartoon blood and violence. Genres on the information panel are visual novel, adventure, puzzle, and role playing. Tags include 2D, horror, multiple endings, pixel art, and RPG Maker, plus the tag “eufree.” Made with RPG Maker and Clip Studio Paint. Language: English. Average session: about a half-hour. Input: keyboard. Status: Released. Author: Spica.

An older version of this fan page repeated “three endings.” That does not match the listing checked on 29 September 2026, which says 2 endings. The remaster is the build in the frame. A devlog linked from the page is titled as the Episode I remake, and the HTML5 file is upload 19061468, dated in the embed URL with the version query from that page. The previous embed used upload 4536093.

The web build versus the download

The description’s first practical note is that the web version is a little janky and that the creator recommends downloading the game. This page still loads the official HTML5 file, because that is the browser copy the itch page offers, at 816 by 624. If the frame stutters, the Windows download on the same itch page is the copy the creator prefers.

The page also points at a Kickstarter pre-launch. The project URL on the page is the Silver Thread mystery RPG Maker campaign at kickstarter.com/projects/spicatxt/silver-thread-a-mystery-rpgmaker-game. This fan site does not take pledges and does not describe rewards the campaign page does not need us to repeat.

A Walkthrough + FAQ devlog is still linked from the itch page. Its timestamp on that list is 1 October 2021. The remake devlog is years later. This page does not copy the 2021 walkthrough into a route guide for the remaster, because the materials do not show that those old steps were rewritten for the new upload. Use the devlog if you want the historical notes, and treat the “2 endings” line on the current game page as the count that matches the remaster listing.

Credits on the Episode I page

Writing, art, and RPG Maker coding are credited to Puchi, with the Twitter handle @_puchi. The short bio on the page says Puchi loves women and mystery games. RPG Maker MV plugins are credited to Galv, Yanfly, Himeworks, Waynee95, Mjshi, Mr. Trivel, Synrec, biud436, Fallen Angel Olivia, Gimmer, SumRndmDde, Moghunter, Nelderson, Krimer, and Tsukimi. Pixel art sources are Limezu, VectorPixelStar, Hypnobius, and cyangmou. The font credit is NicoPups.

Music and sound credits are BellKalengar, Peritune, KK, かずち, and Zion. BellKalengar is also the composer credited on Dead Plate, which is the only reason that name appears on both pages. The games are not by the same studio. Japanese translation of Episode I is credited to Kyua, with an Eufree credit beside that name. The page records a submission to Spooktober, the 3rd Annual Visual Novel Jam by DevTalk.

Where the series goes next

Spica’s later cases are separate games. Silver Thread: Deux sends Alicia to a haunted theater, runs about 1 to 1.5 hours, and has two endings plus a creator-written scoring guide. Episode 3 is shorter, about 30 to 45 minutes, and the creator says it has only one ending. Deux’s own page says the prequel exists but that Deux also works alone. You do not have to finish Episode I to load Deux, and you do not have to trust a 2021 FAQ for the remaster’s ending count.

On 29 September 2026 the Episode I listing showed a score of 4.8 from 1,009 ratings, and an update time of 2 September 2026. That rating is itch’s snapshot, not a score from this site. Price on the creator’s pages in this series is name-your-own-price.
