Take on the challenge of escaping from endless haunted houses as shrine maiden Yono!
Following in the footsteps of her missing Onmyouji brother, shrine maiden Yono arrives at a terrifying mansion haunted by yokai and vengeful spirits called Mononoke. With limited items and traps at your disposal, you will need knowledge, experience, and courage to survive the endlessly-changing halls and rooms.

When Yono is in grave danger, another side of her personality is revealed and she gains new strength. Predict and control this transformation to gain another advantage over the Mononoke.
