Kuromaku

Kuromaku is a first-person psychological horror game set in a 1990s-inspired domestic world. You explore a house and its surroundings as ordinary routines become a defense against an unseen presence. Silence, subtle changes in the environment and the sense that something is watching build tension over three days.

Daily routines

You progress time by completing household tasks, including cleaning the bathroom, washing dishes, buying groceries and maintaining daily responsibilities. As the environment changes, lighting, ambient sound and other details turn familiar spaces into increasingly oppressive ones. Searching rooms and examining objects reveals clues and hidden implications.

Game modes

Story Mode is recommended for first-time players. Its reduced difficulty provides a smoother experience focused on the story, atmosphere and exploration. Brave Mode is intended for players who want to explore different endings and engage more deeply with dialogue, reading and the layers of the story.

Visual modes

• Normal Mode: a clean, immersive presentation.
• VHS Mode: an optional retro analog filter inspired by 1990s camcorder footage, with grain, distortion and signal interference.

Choices and endings

Your reactions and choices affect how events unfold and which conclusion you reach. You can confront the presence, ignore it or investigate further; different choices lead to different outcomes. The game has four endings.
