Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5xxx, 1GB VRAM 5000 Series, 10 GB of storage. Windows only.

In collaboration with Corpse Party scenario writer Makoto Kedouin, this horror RPG follows Mai Toyama’s search for her sister in a quiet lakeside town. She’ll unravel clues to the town’s past by day, and battle Shadow Matter by night. Can you uncover the truth before reality is consumed by darkness?

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $7.99. That was November 2024. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 39 in the 6 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 72 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Incantation ($9.34, scores 38) beats it on value, while it beats Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty ($39.99, scores 1).

Steam's global achievement data puts 22 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. This site sampled 337 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2020 to July 2026. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, finite spend); the score docks it lightly for that.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.
