How it feels

A tense, atmospheric escape through a pixelated haunted Japanese manor where you must observe clues and use wits to exorcise spirits.

What players say

Players describe a slow-paced horror roguelike where you identify enemies by sound and manage limited items. The controls feel clunky to some, and missions have difficulty spikes, but the atmosphere and sound design are praised. A few note development stalled as a quasi-sequel was announced.
