About the Game

Where am I…?

When you woke up, you found yourself in a strange place. According to a boy in the mirror, this place is Noroi Kago. He wants to help you leave, but a barrier prevents him from crossing to the other side. If the boy is going to rescue you, you’ll need to crack the barrier first.

To escape, you’ll have to cooperate with your friends and companions, but… What else is hiding inside this barrier with you? Don’t let the yokai find you.

For their own reasons, the yokai inside the barrier won’t try to kill you immediately. Even if you are attacked once, your allies can help you recover and resume your escape. I dread to think of what would happen if you were alone.

The longer you linger inside the barrier, the more the unearthly aura of the space will erode your humanity, until you become something else. Hold onto your humanity while you make your escape.
