Hua Zheng Gui Ling is a visual novel, where "you" can move (but not make significant choices) because it uses RPG Maker. It starts with the protag bumping into his pink-haired classmate (who looks unnecessarily young and has the middle-second syndrome) in a hurry to school. His job would be done the moment he sends her to the school hospital, but then he decides to go on a date with her the next day. And things only get crazier from here...

This is one of those games where looking at the CGs is more worth the time than playing the game itself. According to the dev, at least.

Unused Graphics

Hzg0-Icon.png

icon/图标.png - A proper icon for the game. The final game just uses RPG Maker MV's default icon.

Early (img/characters/像素2.png)
Hzg0-pixelchar2.png
Final (img/characters/像素3.png)
Hzg0-pixelchar3.png

An unused character sprite sheet, supposedly an early version of Zero's. The 1st character in it carried over to the actual character sprite sheet for Zero, though still unused. (Yes, the sprites as-is are that low quality.)

Used Unused
Hzg0-doctor_pixelart.png
Hzg0-doctor_and_boss.png

img/characters/医生老板.png contains an unused copy of the school nurse's sprite aside Guojiang's.

Hzg0-chara-Zero little-embarrassed.png

img/pictures/妹害羞.png - Zero's "younger sister" persona with a shy expression.

Hzg0-CG5-dark.png

img/pictures/cg5黑.png - cg5.png with a black background. Was probably meant to appear right before Zero's "younger sister" persona snaps and reveals the second-biggest plot twist of the game.

Hzg0-CG7 4-crying.png

img/pictures/cg74哭.png - cg74.png with tears running down from Zero's eyes.

Unused Text

"Day 2" prompt

Text Translation 
                                          第二天
 
                                        Day 2

This text would display in the duplicate of the protagonist's bedroom for day 2 (ID 8). However, due to a programming error (checking for the wrong switch), it's never displayed.

Item Text

Items have names and descriptions that can't be ever seen, due to the item menu being disabled for some reason.

ID Name Description Name (translation) Description (translation) Notes
1 恢复药水 恢复500HP。 Recovery Potion Recovers 500HP. Unused item from RPG Maker.
2 魔力药水 恢复200MP。 Magic Potion Recovers 200MP. Unused item from RPG Maker.
3 万能药 解除无法战斗以外的所有负面状态。 Universal Medicine Removes all negative statuses except "Unable to Fight". Unused item from RPG Maker.
4 兴奋剂 解除无法战斗状态。 Doping Removes the "Unable to Fight" status. Unused item from RPG Maker.
5 五角星的发夹 粉毛萝莉的发夹，应该挺重要的吧。 Pentagram Hairpin The pink-haired loli's hairpin. It's probably quite important.
6 创口贴药水 "Band-Aid" Potion
7 猫耳发箍药水 "Cat Ear Hairband" Potion
8 猫猫玩偶药水 "Kitty Doll" Potion
9 看起来没用的药水 Seemingly Useless Potion

Unused Audio

"Capo Productions - 4u" exists but is never played.

The following unused duplicate music files exist in audio/se:

  • "Capo Productions - Quiet Storm"
  • "中山真斗 - Memento"
  • "Capo Productions - 4u"

A unused copy of "Mili - Outro" exists in audio/bgm.

Leftover Audio Metadata

For all BGMs except Dungeon1 (those are all "borrowed"[1]), metadata is preserved. In their MP3 variants, two fields contain data that seems to be from NetEase Cloud Music's desktop client (the "163 key" is used by it to identity songs[3]).

Name Content
COMMENT 163 key(Don't modify):<encrypted data>
ENCODING SETTINGS Lavf57.25.100

In the first streams of their OGG variants (a Theora "video" containing the song's album art), the comment field says: 

Media (e.g. label side of CD)

audio/bgs/5628.mp3, a stock sound effect used as a school bell, contains the following metadata, which indicates it was taken from China Webmaster's "Webmaster's Assets" sub-site - specifically, here.

Oddities

www contains a copy of the game's nw.js runner.

Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: There's also an RPG Maker VX project. Check if this is actually introduced by 大白Neko's (supposed) repack (which is likely one of the only easily accessible copies of the game).

A lot of seemly standard stuff for new RPG Maker MV projects, such as enemies, weapons, skills, classes, and some items, were not removed from the game at all despite being practically useless (though the names of some of them are blanked).

The map "上学路上" ("On the Way to School") uses "Town2" as its BGM, which doesn't exist.

These aren't surprising, considering the dev's inexperience in game dev.
