It's honestly pretty refreshing to play a horror game based on the Hachishakusama urban legend, as it's an urban legend that has always fascinated me ever since I heard about it! Keep up the fantastic work!
Well optimized, great voice acting and a solid story. I couldn't ask for a better indie horror experience. Can't wait to see what comes next! Plus the added bonus of a checkpoint to be able to see all endings!!!!
Game's interesting and has a nice pass to it as well. The story lines up well to the lore as well. Nice job overall. I hope you do more urban myths and maybe some from beyond the Asian Myths.
Amazing tense atmosphere and the sounds throughout the play through were fantastic! Only thing I wish is that there was a checkpoint to replay the ending! Awesome job!
I loved the atmosphere of this one! The sound design was amazing so whoever was in charge of that big props! The wind and ambience hit with real immersion! Also did anyone else feel like when the character spoke at the start they were speaking almost in a Haiku like fashion? Just me? Great job all round :)
Feel free to check my playthrough of it if you want!
PT/BR Um dos poucos jogos de terror que me conquistaram, cenários lindos, dublagem perfeita, sustos não forçados. Eu tava precisando jogar algo realmente bom!
a little good game with enough quilty environment aromosphere,u know what? the game even have check point so that u can choose play from check-point or from the begining, this we videomaker could save so much time,no need to u know ,nice job bro ,keep going ,do more better longer game. if so ,i would like play time and time.
took me around 11 minutes,and a little adive is when player choose continue game after end at the first-time-playing, the start button maybe add a cancel-button at the tail.so that would be much firendly.but the game is wonderful enough.
Great game took me around 10-15 minutes. The folk lore is very well told and very out there, not super generic. The atmosphere this game is able to create is incredible. This includes tense moments, great sound design, the voice acting is on point and so much more. Everything is very well done although there is one complaint that I have. That is the Eight Feet Tall Lady. Which I thought was pretty poorly done, as everything is a 3D model and yet she's a jpeg that is able to teleport around. Which really takes the scary aspect away from her which contradicts the horror aspect of the antagonist. Although the atmosphere is able to make up for it in some points. In all the game is very well done, I would give this a solid a 7.5. Well done you have a solid future ahead of you if you keep this up.
Thank you so much for the feedback! She's in fact a rigged and animated 3D model lol. But I get what you mean. I'll take this into account in my future projects.
I love folk horror like this and I hadn't heard of this one before. Very well done. I did have a little trouble getting it to start, but whitelisting it worked for me.
Someone alteady said it, but the beginning is a little slow.
I tried downloading the Windows Zip but for some reason the Zip was totally empty. Also tried downloading through the native Itch app and that failed to install entirely. Maybe it's just a me problem, though.
So I tried to extract it again today and again it was empty, i was using the built in extractor in windows. I used Breezip and it worked. I hope this works for you too.
This is a common issue with indie games from itch io on windows. The antivirus keeps giving false positives because the game is not signed by Microsoft. What you can do is whitelist the game from your antivirus.
Muchísimas gracias por compartir este buen juego. Me ha gustado de principio a fin; tanto la atmósfera como la trama del juego son buenísimas. También es un punto a favor que tenga dos finales y que esté en español. Has hecho un trabajo estupendo, por eso te he dado 5 estrellas, que es lo que te mereces tanto tú como los que te han ayudado con las traducciones y doblando las voces. Saludos!!!
I really enjoyed this game! I'm a huge fan of urban legends, especially Japanese ones, and this absolutely hit the spot. There's something so eerie and immersive about Hachishakusama, and the way this game brought the legend to life was both creepy and oddly calming.
The graphics were beautiful — they had this soft, quiet atmosphere that made the tension hit even harder when it needed to. It’s not a jumpscare-heavy game… and yet, I still managed to get jumpscared twice! 😂
I also really appreciated the multiple endings and how the game let us explore them without forcing a full restart — that’s such a thoughtful touch. I do wish we got to see more of the little fox though, it was so cute.
Overall, this was a fantastic experience. Thank you so much for making this — I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on your future work!
Game was super awesome and creepy as hell, as much I was scared throughout the game I had tons of fun and the Tall Lady would just not leave me alone lol
What an amazing experience this was! What a great game to use the urban legend for sure, amazing execution. Super immersive and scary throughout my playthrough! Made a video on it.
Made a video on my native language (portuguese) about this game and, honestly. I felt amazed. So much detail and, so much optimized. Please keep doing more game like that, we need that hahaha
heres my full gameplay i uploaded on my youtube channel
Hey! I'd love to have a Korean translation in the game, but all localizations are done voluntarily by players. So for now, I can't add Korean unless someone offers to help with the translation.
Hello, I'm not sure if you can help but for some reason the game opens and closes instantly when I try and play it. I get this faded pop up for a second that I have attached. I more than meet the requirements with a 4080 Super. I also tried running the .exe from the CMD and I get no errors. I am unsure what to do which is a shame because the game looks fantastic.
Hey, thanks for the reply. I actually got it to work using what you mentioned by creating a shortcut of the .exe and inputting '-force-d3d12' after the .exe name in the target field. Appreciate the help. Game looks fantastic and I am glad I will get to play it. :)

Loved it! Creepy...spooky...awesome story too
Amazing tense atmosphere and the sounds throughout the play through were fantastic! Only thing I wish is that there was a checkpoint to replay the ending! Awesome job!
Glad i got this to run, the atmosphere and sound design were equal parts eerie and beautiful. Keep it up.
I loved the Silent Hill inspired visuals!
Subbed!

Um dos poucos jogos de terror que me conquistaram, cenários lindos, dublagem perfeita, sustos não forçados. Eu tava precisando jogar algo realmente bom!
The atmosphere really got to me quiet, eerie, and unsettling in just the right way.
The forest setting gave a strong sense of isolation, and the mystery was well-paced. Great job overall!

Absolutely loved this game. The art style, the animation was great. Got some really good scares out of me. 10/10
8.9/10
Solid game, got me a few times there. Love the wind effect.
I tried downloading the Windows Zip but for some reason the Zip was totally empty. Also tried downloading through the native Itch app and that failed to install entirely. Maybe it's just a me problem, though.
Its not just you, this happened to me too.
So I tried to extract it again today and again it was empty, i was using the built in extractor in windows. I used Breezip and it worked. I hope this works for you too.
I really enjoyed this game. Love games based on urban legends. Wish it was a bit more longer. Keep it up.
hey! i want to play your game but unfortunately i'm having issues installing it — the file doesn't pass the antivirus check, please fix this

i'm experiencing this antivirus issue for the first time with a game on itch io :(
sorry it's not a problem on my side. Here's VirusTotal results if you're still unsure.

Great game! I really enjoyed this! Here is my playthrough :)
Man I was spamming the shit out of E, and i always thought I'd die. Like holy shit xD. Then I got lost taking the bell back hahaha.

Oh that's bad :(
It could be a driver issue. Can you try running it from CMD with this flag: `-force-d3d12`
