About the Game

  • Narrative

    In the recently abandoned village of NaniNani Mura, the last in a lineage of pure monks named Chado-san searches for answers about why he was sent away to Tokyo as a child, why the residents have all fled, and what happened to the beautiful child hood friend he remembers fondly. However a legendary Spirit haunts the village and is hunting your pure energy! Protect Chado-san's purity and find a way to escape Hachishaku's grasp!

    Hachishaku is a stalker horror style game where you investigate the village, find answers, search for the 5 sacred jizo to return them to their shrines, and collect money to buy various costumes, accessories and hair styles for your 8 foot tall stalker. Read the journals and notes left by the villagers to discover the truth about the village's past. Find photographic evidence of Hachishaku forgotten by time!
