Hyaku Monogatari: Honto ni Atta Kowai Hanashi

## Description

Its sub-title translated as _True Scary Stories_ , _Hyaku Monogatari_ is a
video game homage to the parlour game Hyaku Monogatari Kaidankai, which was
popular during the Edo period (17th – middle of 19th century) in Japan. The
game involved gathering at night, lighting a hundred candles and telling
horror stories, extinguishing the candles one by one until the room became
completely dark.

The game contains a hundred horror stories told in a linear fashion through
text, digitized photos and sound effects. Most of the stories are very short
and non-interactive. The exceptions usually involve visual novel-like choices
of locations or responses to situations, which sometimes affect the story’s
conclusion. A recurrent episode involves visiting various locations in Tokyo
area and reviewing criminal cases and ghost stories.
