About the Game

Illustrated in ballpoint pen by the artist Yatara, the world of Hino comes to life as a game.

In a shadow-drenched realm overrun by eerie monsters,
the red-ribboned Hino and the quirky white Monimoni Skeleton
set out on a journey in search of a safe haven.

It is in your hands to guide them to that place of peace.

Through lands crawling with monsters and traps,
you will uncover a single truth behind the creation of this dark world.

When that truth is revealed,
your choices will decide which of the many endings their journey will reach.

  • 2D Action-Adventure

  • An original story created exclusively for the game

  • Flee from, and sometimes confront, monsters born from fear itself

  • Delve into the truth of the world
