A journey of quiet dread and cryptic discovery through a dim Edo-period setting, where puzzles and subtle visuals slowly reveal an unsettling truth.

What players say
Players praise the surreal Silent Hill-like atmosphere and sound design, but the protagonist's slow walk and required backtracking frustrates many. The ghostly encounters are rare, and the plot is predictable to horror veterans, though the ending is touching.
