Masagoro

Masagoro is a single-player, first-person horror exploration game. You visit an abandoned Japanese-style inn called Masagoro, searching for clues that reveal its past while confronting evil spirits that attack you. The game takes two to three hours to complete.

The abandoned inn

The protagonist once worked in Meshii-village and, one day, recalls an abandoned inn that stayed in his memory. Interested in exploring abandoned buildings, he decides to visit it. Masagoro is designed in the style of the early Showa period (1926–1989), drawing on examples of ruined Japanese hotels and advice from abandoned-hotel explorers.

Sound and exploration

The game uses Steam Audio, Valve’s 3D audio solution, to bring the strange phenomena inside Masagoro closer through its audio design.
