Tasukemono

Tasukemono is a turn-based puzzle game about a blind girl lost in a forest as she searches for her mother. You guide her through short stages with the help of animal characters, overcoming obstacles and enemies as you travel deeper into the forest.

Guide the girl

The girl moves automatically toward the goal. You give the animals movement and skill commands, then use “advance time” to make everyone take one step at once. You can take your time deciding each animal’s next action. The adventure begins with Irenu the dog and Kuuma the bear; you meet more characters as the stages progress and can befriend them to help the girl.

Stages and saving

Progress saves automatically at the start of each stage, and you can also save manually during a puzzle. You can retry the current stage at any time from the options menu. The game takes about 6–10 hours to complete.

Characters and gallery

The forest’s animals have distinct personalities and skills, and not every animal likes humans. Hidden pieces of paper unlock special graphics in the gallery mode.

Visual options

The game includes mild pixel-art bloodshed. You can turn these effects off in the options, replacing them with pop-style expressions.
