Hachishakusama

Hachishakusama is a Japanese horror game about Saku, a young boy who visits the rural village of Kibuse with his father. After his father leaves him there, promising to return later, Saku is left alone with his grandfather and becomes entangled with Hachishakusama, an eight-feet-tall ghost from an urban legend who never leaves his side. As Saku runs errands for his grandfather and interacts with a girl he meets in the village, the course of his summer begins to change.

The village

The story unfolds in peaceful countryside, with scenery that shifts as time passes and the sounds of nature in the background. Saku is trapped in days with no apparent escape, and the story follows the choices he makes as his circumstances change.
