Gu-L (2001)

While on the road during a school trip, a class becomes stranded in the middle of a derelict forest when their bus abruptly crashes. Fending for themselves, they soon come across a mansion whose lone habitant is a stoic maid. Seeking shelter, they take refuge in the mansion, only for the stay to be anything but restful. This surreal RPG-Maker horror game was a submission in the March 2001 edition of the monthly contest that Enterbrain would host. Gu-L won first place, with Hyogo's very own Yubu Yakushiro receiving 30,000円 as the prize.
