Story

The university student Shoko Yuki is attacked by a strange creature while walking her beloved dog, Chocolat. Though Yuki manages to escape, she loses Chocolat, who vanishes along with something that slithers along the ground.

Determined to find Chocolat, Yuki ventures into Utaga-yama. As night falls and darkness envelops the area, Yuki attempts to search the mountain but is once again attacked by the mysterious creature crawling along the ground.

This marks the beginning of Yuki's encounter with the cruel and horrifying history of the town.

Features of the game

⚫︎ A retro and eerie world brought to life with stunning graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5. The setting is Utaga-yama, a small town in Japan from an old era. In the first half of the story, players control the protagonist, Shoko Yuki, as she explores Utaga-yama. The dense, overgrown mountains and traditional Japanese mansions evoke a sense of nostalgia, yet a pervasive eerie atmosphere lingers throughout.
⚫︎ A suffocating endless corridor where you frantically flee from the terror that pursues you. As the story unfolds, the player’s character shifts to a young boy carrying his little sister. Before you, a blood-soaked killer wielding a katana appears and attacks. The mansion is vast, with seemingly endless, identical corridors that can easily disorient you, leaving you unsure of your location. With your sister on the verge of tears in your arms, will you be able to escape safely?
