The story

This world takes the shape of your choices.

Ten souls wait in a Japanese purgatory, turned into yokai by what they could not let go. A rage. An oath. A hunger.

You are Yoru, a two-tailed Nekomata with no memory. Free them by force or with forgiveness. Each one gives back a piece of who you were.

Ten souls wait for your judgment

Both paths free the soul. Only one lets you meet the person, and the world remembers which one you took.

Left tail

Fight them

Break what holds them by force. Every fight leaves a ring on the left tail, and the world grows darker: night comes early, the fog thickens, the spirits keep their distance.

Right tail

Forgive them

Reach the person inside the yokai and help them let go. Every soul you forgive leaves a ring on the right tail, and the light comes back. You can finish the whole game without a single fight.

Every monster was someone once.

Fight them and you meet the monster. Forgive them and you meet the person.

Oni

A general who saved his village, then could not stop fighting. To reach him, you have to stop fighting back.

Noppera-bō

A woman nobody looked at for so long that her face faded away. To reach her, look at her empty face and don't flinch.

Kodama

Tree spirits whose forest was cut down before its time. Grief makes them strike at anything that moves.

All drawn from Japanese folklore. Every spirit you meet has a name and a story of its own.

Two souls, one body

She can become the old woman she once was, and no monster will touch her.

No morality meter

The world keeps score

Every judgment stays on Yoru's tails and changes the world itself: the hour, the weather, the fog, the light, and the way the spirits look at her.

Seven endings. One of them waits in the eclipse.
