Mottainai Ghost

Mottainai Ghost is a horror game about investigating an old apartment building and escaping its mansion-like grounds. After buying the building to make a fortune from vacation rentals, you find that guests are disappearing one after another. You search the rooms to discover what is happening, while facing the anger of discarded leftovers and their lingering grudge.

Explore the building

You investigate each room for hidden items and notes that reveal the truth behind the strange events. The story centers on the spirit of “MOTTAINAI” and reimagines Japanese folklore as a modern horror experience, finding unease in everyday life.

Eat to escape

Your goal is to escape the mansion, but leftover food stands in your way. Eating leftovers raises your stomach level so you can consume larger portions; managing that growth efficiently is key to getting out. Items that enhance senses such as smell and vision can help with exploration, and an auto-map helps you keep track of where you are.

Avoid the ghost

The MOTTAINAI GHOST roams the property, and being caught means game over. Your actions determine whether you survive. The game uses light surprise elements and a gloomy, uneasy atmosphere, without grotesque imagery or violent scenes.
