About this game
"Defeat the Monsters with the Cursed Sword and Sacred Talismans!
The terror of the Japanese supernatural world awaits in this action-packed horror!"
Story:
Fragments of a story unite in the "SukuuMono" series
This is a full remake of "Whisper Forest."
The story takes place on Kannanagi Island, in the eerie "Whispering Forest" and the ancient "Seven Night Shrine."
The protagonist, Yoru, is tasked with searching for a missing girl in the Whispering Forest. With his partner, the cursed sword Kannanagi, he ventures into the forest to investigate. What awaits them there...?
※The "SUKU-MONO" series is a series, but you can enjoy it no matter where you start!
Features:
Terror Experience
The Seven Night Shrine features both a first-person "exploration mode" and a third-person "combat mode," allowing you to experience two different types of horror.
You can change the difficulty at any time, so even those who are not good at action games can play with peace of mind!
Crafting Element
The cursed sword Kannanagi absorbs the blood of lurking creatures with each strike. Collect this blood to create powerful talismans, and use them to gain an advantage in combat.
In-Depth Story
Learn about the lurking creatures, the Seven Night Shrine, and the protagonist's past… Unravel the mysteries and connect the dots across the series, as well as discovering new secrets!
