About This Game

NOROI KAGO: the Grudged Domain is a survival horror game themed around the supernatural beings known as "Yokai" from Japanese folklore. Up to four players can cooperate online to try to escape from a rotting domain where terrifying Yokai roam.

Features:

- Experience Japanese-inspired horror, alone or together

Explore the domain, looking for powerful items during your attempt to escape. The ritual to lift the seal is long and dangerous, but you only have so much time before the domain consumes you. While it is possible to escape alone, bringing friends along can open new opportunities... but will your teamwork prevail against the devious Yokai?

- A unique artstyle and atmosphere

Inspired by the works of Shigeru Mizuki, the creator of "GeGeGe no Kitaro", NOROI KAGO features heavy use of contrasting light and shadow to create a distinctive atmosphere, reminiscent of Japanese horror manga. What could be hiding in the darkness, just beyond your vision? Are you brave enough to find out?

- A bitter curse that won't let go

An agonizing curse mutilates your body into becoming a half-Yokai yourself. While the curse on its own won't take your life, managing the curse is key to escaping the domain alive. Just be careful - your friends might not recognize you at first.

- A shifting stage that changes each playthrough

In order to escape, you must complete the ritual to break the seal. However, the items necessary for the ritual are hidden in different locations each time you play. Fortunately, some items scattered around the domain can aid you in your escape in other ways. Manage your resources wisely, and you might be able to live to see a new day.
