About the Game

Where the Wisteria Ends is an unsettling, story-driven horror RPG where karma is permanent. 

Shizume, a quiet mountainside village, waits for you beneath a canopy of wisteria. Under its serene surface, you are watched by the one who remembers every sin you commit.

Cultivate your fields, care for beasts, and walk among villagers who fear what lurks beyond their doors. The land beyond the village never sleeps, and the sea carries whispers meant for you alone. Will you answer?

Every deed, kind or cruel, is etched into the world. Your karma reshapes the environment, alters storylines, and changes how the villagers of Shizume see you. When dire consequences strike, there is no reset. 

Grow crops across shifting seasons, raise traditional livestock, and shelter the demons you've managed to tame. What you feed, protect, or abandon will not forget your guiding hand.

Build friendship or romance with the people of Shizume. Every interaction impacts what they'll do for you (or to you) when fear begins to spread. Connection is possible, but so is permanent loss.

Explore a mountainside village inspired by rural Japan, where nature and folklore intertwine. Hand-pixeled environments capture the beauty of a quiet culture and a world that's familiar yet haunting.
