Aoi Shiro (アオイシロ, 'Blue Castle') is a Japanese horror adventure game by Japanese developer and publisher Success Corporation, released for the PlayStation 2 in Japan on April 5, 2008, and was later ported to Microsoft Windows with extra content.[1] A reduced price "popular edition," included in the SuperLite 2000 Series, was released on April 28, 2009.

On September 14, 2022, a Remastered "HD" version of the game was announced for the Nintendo Switch and PC, alongside its older "sister-game" Akai Ito, at the Tokyo Game Show (東京ゲームショウ, Tōkyō Gēmu Shō), with a release date planned for 2023. In addition, this new version would receive an official English language option for the first time, and be given a release outside Japan.[2]
