Yogoe Hunter

A choice-driven roguelike text adventure rooted in East Asian mythology

If the West has "monsters", the East has "Yogoe" — mysterious beings from Korean and Japanese folklore.
Feared or revered, these spirits, demons, and mythical creatures were passed down through oral traditions and even recorded in historical texts.

Yogoe Hunter is a text-based adventure where you encounter 218 Yogoe, documented like a collectible bestiary,
and choose your path through a fantasy world inspired by medieval Korea and Japan.

Easy to play, rich in freedom

All you need to do is read and choose.
No complex mechanics — just meaningful choices that branch into 94 different endings.
A simple interface, but a deep and immersive storytelling experience.

Explore traditional East Asian culture

Every story in this game is crafted from Korean and Japanese myths, folktales, and historical legends.
Become a ninja, a samurai, a monk, a rogue, or even a tyrant —
and immerse yourself in a world that reflects the spiritual and cultural depth of East Asia.

200,000+ words of interactive storytelling

With over 200,000 words of story content (as long as 3-4 novels!),
you’ll never have the same experience twice.
Each choice leads you down a different path, forming your own legend.

Roguelike growth and evolving builds

Each playthrough offers new stats, items, and choices.

• Create your own builds

• Gain power through sacred spirits and ancient beings

• Reincarnate (restart) stronger every time

The game might be challenging at first, but with each run, you'll grow — and unlock new paths forward.

Nostalgia for 90s Text Adventures

If you're feeling exhausted by flashy graphics and fast-paced combat,
Yogoe Hunter offers a peaceful, narrative-driven text adventure that gives you space to breathe.

The game features a curated selection of traditional East Asian music and serene ambient soundtracks,
with a simple point-and-click interface that requires no reflexes — only thoughtful choices.

It also serves as a nostalgic homage to the text-based adventures and visual novels of the 1990s,
making it a perfect fit for players who long for the quiet depth of story-first games from that era.
