Arijigoku

Arijigoku is a short, 2D pixel-art point-and-click horror adventure. You play as Erik, a man searching for meaning after personal tragedy, as he explores a secluded forest, solves environmental puzzles and uses found items to move the story forward.

Story

After losing his daughter and wife, Erik has lost his will to keep going. Seeking distance from his grief, he drives aimlessly north. When his car breaks down on a remote stretch of Northern Ontario highway, he enters the woods looking for help and finds something that will change him forever.

Exploration and choices

The path is mostly linear, but the story has three possible endings. Some decisions, or careless actions, can lead to Erik’s death. The game takes around 25 minutes for experienced players, and longer if you explore or get stuck.

Point-and-click controls

You use a simple two-click scheme: left-click to interact and right-click to examine. A full interactive tutorial is available from the main menu.
