Sumigami

Sumigami is a short game in which you investigate a nightmare world to uncover your past and find a way out. On the first night after moving into a new apartment, you discover a dark corridor leading to a world made of familiar rooms inhabited by strange creatures called Sumigamis.

Explore the Sumigami world

You explore an ever-changing world with a flashlight, trying to understand what is happening. The Sumigamis may help you, but they are also searching for a way out. You find items that reveal more about your past and what you need to do to escape.

Face the creatures

Some creatures are hostile. As the escape route becomes clearer, everyone tries to reach it, so you may need to run for your life or fight back.

Story and endings

The visuals change as the story unfolds and according to what is happening on screen. They draw on artist Andre Da Costa’s black-and-white world of cute but frightening creatures. The game has two possible endings: completing it after encountering every Sumigami leads to a different conclusion. A playthrough takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
