About the Game

Early Access is now available!

Expect the unexpected in the world of Hitori Kakurenbo Online (HKO), inspired by one of the most famous rituals on the internet, ā€œOne Man Hide and Seekā€. Decide the fate of the unfortunate as a corrupted Doll or outwit the power of evil with the tenacity of the curious teenagers in quick and replayable encounters.



With a custom system that allows up to 6 survivors, you can gather your friends to enjoy the setting together or dive into the action online through our matchmaking. It will take more than sheer numbers to escape the dangerous Doll, so tread lightly and remember, keep quiet.



Teenager or Doll, you will be granted various abilities as you face off. Furthermore, survivors can find valuable items scattered over the map. Experiment with a wide range of strategies as the chasers bring a lot of unique surprises to match the survival elements.



As the hunted, hide and complete the ritual to escape the cursed grounds unscattered. As the hunter, your priority is to swiftly eliminate all your targets, making sure their curiosity will be their end.



Customize your characters to your liking, including hundreds of interchangeable parts for the Doll to make it the most oppressive in the eyes of the escapees. Progression is a core part of the game, allowing all players to freely stylize in tandem with numerous content updates.
