About the Game

Paradise is here.
But its toll is a trip to the underworld.
Wield the Tamabuki. Brave the Depths.
Bring back the ancient power.
And make true all you could ever wish.

Game Overview

A survival horror where your key to making it through the Depths is taking care of the Homunculus housed within your Tamabuki. Devastating abilities are powered by this dwarf within the chassis, but forget to feed them and they might just end up eating you. Use them with restraint, treat them with care, and they may just grow into an even stronger form more capable of protecting you.

Feeding and maintaining your pet homunculus is a core part of Tamabuki ownership. Every squeeze of the trigger will drain the dwarf's energy. If properly fed, they'll regain that energy over time. Be sure to stock up!

The World

Humankind has reached an age of prosperity never before thought possible. Any wish can be granted with the power of a Tamabuki—that is, only if they contain a fully matured Homunculus within them.

Far underground, where humanity once lived, a path leads even further down to the sole point where Homunculi may have their final evolution invoked. Between there and the surface are uncountable dangers ranging from the crumbling walls of a deteriorating metropolis to the many wandering monsters that now make it their home.
