6 itemsAbout the Game
御祝呪 -oshukuju- is a first-person, single-player horror adventure game.
Story
Tamako Michikawa lives with her mother in a housing complex.
One day, she woke up to see an unfamiliar ceiling.
Right in front of her, there are photographs of her grandfather, her grandmother, her aunt, and herself, resembling funeral portraits
She finds a letter lying in the corner of the room, seemingly it’s from her grandmother addressed to her grandfather.
By following traces of peculiar rituals and odd forms of worship, she seeks freedom from the confinement.
Nostalgia-filled Visuals
In a world visualized in a style that evokes memories of the late PlayStation period, you will witness the traces of eerie folklore and witchcraft by exploring 1980s~90s-styled traditional Japanese housing.
Explore the Map
The game progresses through the perspective of Tamako.
Unveil why she is here, what the owner of the room was trying to do, and the truth of the curse and sentiments laid in their bloodline.
To do so, you will need to unlock paths by collecting keys and clues.
Immerse yourself in the world
You will encounter no “enemies” or “battles” in the game.
All it takes is your observation skills letting no clues slip away, and your imagination to decipher the characters' thoughts and feelings.
Multi Ending
Your choice drastically changes her destiny.
Help her by having a better understanding of what is around you through following traces and collecting letters.
Music
Cutting-edge trackmakers, Haraguchi Sasuke, whose impactful lyrics and tracks such as 'Medicine' and 'Hito Mania' are rapidly gaining views, along with Hiiragi Kirai, who has produced numerous hit tracks such as 'Bocca Della Verità' and 'Love Ka?,' enrich the depth of the world even further.
