How it feels
A tense, atmospheric psychological horror puzzle game where you read notes and solve locks to blur the line between reality and delusion.

What players say
Players see potential but warn that Karakuru is too early in development to recommend. The current build lasts about 20 to 30 minutes, suffers from bugs and crashes, and has severe performance issues even on a 3060. The flashlight barely lights the way, which players say makes the game feel like torture rather than horror.
