About the Game

*Please connect the microphone. Your actual voice is required.

Your voice is the only thing you can rely on.

In a cursed mansion twisted like a maze, the only thing you have is a faint trace of spiritual power.

When your power fills up, unleash your Voice of Exorcism to dispel restless spirits.

As energy surges through your body, your speed increases—run while the spirits are staggered.

They can hear your voice and will chase you endlessly through the mansion’s labyrinthine halls.

Experience the thrill of Korean-style, one-hit-death horror from a first-person perspective.

Immerse yourself in a unique atmosphere inspired by Korean shamanic culture, with visuals rooted in ritual and sounds recorded by a real gukak master from the 1960s.

Feel Your Power Through the 'Spirit Gauge'

The Spirit Gauge reveals the divine spirit power coursing through your body.

As you speak, that power gathers within you—reach the limit, and release it with a powerful cry.

Your voice may be the key to survival.. but beware.

Not every spirit—or the world that hears you—is on your side.

#A tale of Korean Shamanism

The protagonist of the game is a seonmudang—a young one who abandoned the path to becoming a full shaman.

Chukgwi explores the fear of the unknown through Korean folk culture and shamanism, once rooted in daily life but later dismissed as superstition.

It’s a story about misunderstanding, erasure, and learning to embrace a forgotten past.

We combine high-quality ritual music and traditional Korean instruments with uniquely designed creatures based on shamanic themes—faithfully capturing the essence while adding our own distinctive touch.
