Get 1000 Cuts: Jomaku for PC

1000 Cuts: Jomaku is a 60–90 minute proof-of-concept experience set in a dark fantasy version of Edo Japan, inspired by Japanese history and folklore. You play as Hiroyuki, a young samurai exiled as a child by his father, Hidetsugu. After years of training at his Uncle Jiro’s secluded dojo, Hiro is caught in a hostile takeover within his clan and must choose between his father and the friends and uncle who have become his family.

Hiroyuki’s choice

Hiro can side with Hidetsugu, which means killing his friends and Uncle Jiro, or stand with Jiro and face the army controlled by his father. The story has multiple endings determined by the moral route you choose. Hidden lore drops let you piece together the fractured world.

Combat and exploration

Combat combines instant-death attacks with special abilities and environmental hazards. You can seek efficient solutions or rely on brute force as you fight through the Army of One-Thousand. Challenging bosses use distinct martial arts styles that you can master to unlock combat techniques.

The experience includes a short tutorial, over a dozen hidden pettable cats, an optional boss, unlockable upgrades and three alternative video modes. Its final boss has three phases.
