What players say

Players are split on this free mystery adventure, which blends occult elements with classic command-based gameplay. While some praise the substantial story and retro charm, others criticize the all-hiragana text as hard to read and note that supernatural twists undermine the pure mystery for some. The game is free, 8–14 hours long, and has no achievements or English support.
