About Shrineflow
Enter the Yokai Realm
Shrineflow is a multiplayer (1 vs 1) hide-and-seek game between a powerful Kitsune and a stealthy Ninja in a Japanese-inspired Yokai arena. The Kitsune uses her magical abilities to interact with the arena and track down her opponent. The Ninja uses his stealth skills and trickery to stay undetected while searching the arena for golden coins that will grant him access to the Kitsune’s treasure trove.
No round is like any other, as both characters have multiple abilities to choose from at the start of each game. Will you storm through your realm as the Kitsune, determined to catch the intruder? Or will you evade and outwit a stronger opponent like the Ninja?
Enter the arena and outplay your friends in Shrineflow!
A Student Team
A student team pitched, planned, and developed this project as a capstone (thesis) project at the BYU Center for Animation. This game was accomplished from start to finish in a single year, and we’re incredibly proud of our work. However, please keep in mind this project was completed quickly by students, and you will probably encounter bugs and other hiccups because of this. Most of our amazing team members are moving on to jobs or other coursework, meaning any updates after release are very unlikely. We appreciate your understanding, look forward to your feedback, and hope you enjoy experiencing the world we’ve created.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The game idea is really good. I feel like a small game of tag with some friends who have special abilities is really cool but the graphics were very buggy and did not render very well. Also I would recommend the ability to change the key bindings and a back button when selecting your abilities. Other than that this game can be really fun and interesting it just needs some more work.2 found this helpful
Super fun to play once you figure out how to hide well.1 found this helpful
It's amazing what some college kids can put together, especially that grass. My only complaint is that it takes a stellar computer to run this. If your computer doesn't run it then you can turn down the resolution in Steam or on your computer as it has no graphics options.1 found this helpful
I was excited to play this game, but I wasn't even able to play a full round. There was too much lag and when I used one of my abilities my character disappeared from view until I quit. It's a really fun idea to have a game like this, but it isn't playable at this time. I was also annoyed that I couldn't change any of the key bindings.1 found this helpful
[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] "Shrineflow" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from the mormons at the BYU Center for Animation in Utah. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. The students made a somewhat shallow 1v1 asymmetrical PvP arena where one player (the kitsune "fox spirit") chases a ninja around a small Japanese themed aren…
The game in its current state is unplayable. Motion Blur should be illegal and not having a volume slider is terrible. Finished one game and lost my hearing.
