Kimodameshi Online

Kimodameshi Online is a party horror game for up to 8 players, set in a cursed, abandoned school. Players take on the roles of masked Streamers investigating rumors and filming creepy objects and scenes to grow their viewer counts. One player is secretly a ghost-possessed Traitor, trying to frighten the others and keep their identity hidden.

Playing as a Streamer

You aim at targets and hold to take photos. The more footage you capture, the more your viewers grow, but triggering traps or wandering off alone reduces your Sanity (SAN). Lower SAN makes your viewers grow faster, so you must choose between playing safely and risking your sanity for footage. If your SAN runs out, you collapse; you need another player to help you up or you are out. Once you have taken enough shots, you can escape, or stay until the end to build your viewer count further.

Playing as the Traitor

The Traitor can place traps and objects around the school, slip through walls and possess a Streamer to see through their eyes. They can interfere by blocking movement, disrupting sounds and sabotaging lights. They can also manifest and attack, but Streamers who catch them on camera score.

Voting and escape

Voting begins once half the exploration time has passed. Players name who they suspect is the Traitor; a successful vote seals away the Traitor’s powerful abilities. You can bluff and investigate as you try to escape or survive until the end.
