About the Game

Note: This is a free prologue for the "Tatari" game and it's limited to the first three areas.

Tatari is a first-person adventure game where you take the role of a detective assigned to a disappearance case.
As a police detective, you are sent to investigate from the last place the person of interest was seen. From there, you will find yourself experiencing some paranormal behavior that your logical mind can’t seem to get hold of.



You will follow the evidence to a village that has been abandoned for many years and holds many of the secrets and details for your case.
All the available places are filled with puzzles and locks that your goal is to open and get access to forgotten and hidden information that will bring you closer to finding an end to this case. Be careful, though. Some of the puzzles are more cunning than they seem and may cost you your life. Proceed with caution.



Tatari is based upon a traditional Japanese urban legend which you will experience to some extent.
