❤ Exploring the Eldritch Horrors

As a player, you navigate through the small Japanese town of Shiokawa, investigating a series of occult mysteries in a desperate attempt to stave off the impending apocalypse. The core loop challenges you to make critical choices during the exploration phase, guiding your protagonist through randomized locations and events while carefully managing your limited resources of health, sanity, and time.

❤ Branching Narratives and Multiple Endings

The game's branching narratives and multiple possible endings for each mystery encourage repeated playthroughs, as you uncover new secrets and discover alternative paths to survival.

❤ Tense Turn-Based Combat

When faced with hostile encounters, the game seamlessly transitions into a tense turn-based combat system, where you must strategically select actions from a limited pool, such as attacking, using items or spells, or attempting to flee. Even a single wrong move can lead to a swift demise, as the combat system rewards careful planning and resource management.

❤ Resource Management

Managing your resources is crucial, as the game's events and encounters constantly threaten to deplete your health, sanity, and time. Carefully rationing consumable items, selecting appropriate actions, and minimizing unnecessary risks are essential to confronting the game's climactic challenges.

❤ Replayability and Randomization

The game's roguelite structure, with randomized mysteries and events, ensures that no two playthroughs are exactly the same. As you adapt your strategies and approach each run with a fresh perspective, the game's constantly shifting variables present new challenges and opportunities. This, combined with the game's multiple playable characters, each with their own unique abilities and backstories, provides a high degree of replayability for dedicated horror fans.

❤ Modding and Customization

One of the standout features of this experience is its robust modding support, which allows players to create their own custom content, including new characters, encounters, and even entire mysteries. This thriving modding community has further expanded the game's replayability, allowing players to tailor their experience to their specific tastes.
