About This Game

⚠️ Please Note:
Blue Maiden is a slow-paced walking simulator that focuses on atmosphere, exploration, and puzzle-solving. It is not an action-heavy horror game and does not feature combat or fast-paced gameplay. If you're looking for adrenaline-fueled horror, this may not be the experience for you.

🧩 About the Game

Blue Maiden is a Japanese first-person psychological horror game where the terror creeps in slowly and subtly. As Tachi Tachibana, a recent university graduate, you return to your childhood neighborhood to help with the family business—only to find the streets eerily empty and the air thick with dread.

You’ve been haunted by the same nightmare over and over: a mysterious girl standing silently beneath a cherry tree. But when the dreams start blending into your waking life, you realize that something is terribly wrong. Step into the heart of a decaying town and uncover the truth behind the legend of the Blue Maiden.

🔍 Key Features

  • Atmospheric Exploration:
    Take your time to explore eerie, traditional Japanese locations brought to life with atmospheric visuals and immersive sound design.

  • Psychological Horror:
    The game builds dread through story and setting, featuring light jumpscares and disturbing imagery designed to unnerve rather than shock.

  • Environmental Storytelling:
    Search for clues, solve environmental puzzles, and piece together the mystery of the Blue Maiden through subtle narrative details.

  • Multiple Endings:
    A complete playthrough takes about 1 hour, with roughly 30 minutes of extra content available for players who seek out all 3 endings.

  • Authentic Japanese Setting:
    Inspired by classic Japanese horror, Blue Maiden blends folklore, melancholy, and mystery into a uniquely haunting experience.

👁️ Can you uncover the truth behind the Blue Maiden?

Step quietly. Look closely. Not everything wants to be found.
