About This Game

“That choice will change both your fate and the girl’s.”

—On a shrine path swirling with strange disturbances, every step you take with the girl is put to the test—

Yaei Shrine is a Japanese-style light horror adventure in which the player guides a girl dressed as a shrine maiden toward a mountain shrine plagued by unsettling phenomena.

Eerie sounds, sudden presences, and things that should never appear…
As you walk alongside the girl, a boundary between the real world and the otherworld unfolds before you.

Your decisions will determine the girl’s fate.

---------------------------

Guide a shrine maiden who can no longer reach the mountaintop shrine due to a sinister aura.

If you sense an anomaly, take the left path.

If nothing feels wrong, proceed along the right path, and help escort the girl safely to the shrine at the summit.

This game is inspired by The Exit 8 and is an Exit 8–like experience.

There are two difficulty modes: Normal and Hard.

We recommend starting with Normal, though it may still prove challenging.

Estimated playtime is 15 to 90 minutes.

If you clear it too easily, we recommend playing again—you may notice different anomalies and a different atmosphere on a second run.

Regardless of difficulty, clearing the game unlocks additional content.

(Climb the rankings and leave your name at the top!)

There are very few horror elements, so even players who are not good with horror should feel comfortable playing.

Take your time, enjoy your conversations with the girl, and search for anomalies together.

However… repeatedly pestering her with the same conversations may have consequences……

This is some reference information that may be a little difficult to understand while playing.Please note that some people may consider it a spoiler.
