Aka Manto

Aka Manto is a survival horror game based on the Japanese urban legend of a masked spirit in a red cloak. The spirit appears to people using public or school bathrooms, particularly young women, and asks whether they want red paper or blue paper. In the legend, choosing red leads to a bloody death, while choosing blue means being strangled and drained of blood.

Explore the school

You navigate the claustrophobic hallways of an old, abandoned Japanese school, where you may encounter other characters. Aka Manto hunts you as you explore, and you can try to hide from it. The game uses visuals inspired by fifth-generation consoles and includes bizarre, intricate puzzles with Japanese cultural elements.

Uncover the mystery

Tape recordings scattered around the map reveal details about Aka Manto. Your choices and progress can lead to a good or bad ending.

One life

You have one life, and there are no saves. Death means starting over, so each attempt gives you another chance to do better. A playthrough takes around 90 to 120 minutes, depending on your skill and playstyle.
