👁️ About MEKAKUSHI-SAN
MEKAKUSHI-SAN is a strange entity that appears in the town at night.
It emerges from the darkness with its eyes seemingly covered and pursues the player.

In a town wrapped in darkness, the paths you should be able to see disappear, and things you shouldn’t be able to see appear through your gaze.
