Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via Toei Animation:
NOROI KAGO: the Grudged Domain is a survival co-op horror game based around the theme of yokai. These are supernatural beings which stem from traditional Japanese folklore. The game allows for co-operative play for up to four players where the aim is to escape from an enclosed space in which yokai roam.
Key Gameplay Features
J-Horror Fans Get Ready!
Players must break free from the grasp of the cursed realm. Cooperation is key as you’ll need to work closely with your teammates to truly survive the yokai.
Feel The Fear Through A Distinctive Art Style
The game is inspired by the chilling atmosphere of Japanese horror films. Immerse yourself in a unique art style, crafted to showcase the strong contrast between light and shadow. Much of the work is derived from Shigeru Mizuki, the original author of the manga “GeGeGe no Kitaro”. Every unsuspecting yokai creeping through the shadows is sure to incite more fear.
The Curse That Eats Away
Yokai aren’t the only creatures you have to worry about. Throughout the realm, players will be inflicted by a curse, which gradually eats away at their bodies before turning them into half-demons. To break free from this curse, cooperation will be key.
A Unique Experience Each Time
Map items and gimmicks will be placed in a different location with each play allowing for unique experiences. These items can help you escape the realm, hold back the yokai and even revive fallen allies.
