A strategic roguelike horror game in which the player plays as Yono, a Miko (Maiden Exorcist) who is searching for her missing exorcist brother and must take on a mansion where many mononoke (ghosts) are lurking within. Using sound is the key strategy to succeed in the game. You can identify the type of mononoke by listening to the noises coming from neighbouring rooms, or you can lure mononoke into a trap room with your voice to defeat them. Sometimes, instead of defeating mononoke, making good use of their unique characteristics can provide you with a big advantage in beating the dungeon. It is possible to utilize action game skills to overcome some of the challenges, but the key to success often lies in developing strategies through careful observation. Players can also progress through the game even if they are not familiar with action games.
Akiho Suzumoto lends her voice to the game’s protagonist, a Miko named Yono. She has worked extensively in anime, games, and theater, including in the role of Natsuha Arisugawa in THE iDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS.
