So you lived your whole life in a shrine hidden in ye olde japanese forest. Your uncle is going away for a while and leaves you in charge. 'Well, let's at least clean a bit', you think. So you take your dirty laundry and go to a river because you surely don't have washing machine. Unfortunately, right in the middle, your walk gets interrupted and you have to go back home only to find out that a youkai gang has throwed a party while you were gone. And it's up to you to get those drunkards and their pet Mr. Worm out of your house so you can finally finish your laundry. Oh, and they killed your uncle, so I guess you are in complete charge of the shrine now.

The game is two hours short and don't overstays its welcome much. Unfortunately, there is not much to do apart from walking and running and hiding. The seal writing sounds nice on paper, but would be better if I actually knew why was it exactly this symbol I have to draw. I don't know, give me the list of all possible seals and write their meaning so I would choose what to draw and when, for example.

Performance is dogshit, by the way. And atmosphere is nonexistent, I guess it's because some western dudes tried to make asian-style horror and didn't do it justice. Although I did like how your feet flap on floorboards while you run.
