Kakurenbo background

Kakurenbo

Brave kids, led by Hikora, venture into a forbidden city's ruins to play the mysterious and terrifying game of "Otokoyo", a hide-and-seek game, in a quest to find Hikora's missing sister.

In a desolate street, a chilling legend circulates: if you play the game "Otokoyo" at night, demons will whisk away the players. Eight children gather, each with their own motivations. Among them is Hikora, who hopes to find his missing sister, who vanished after playing the game. As the game unfolds, the children realize the rumors are true - some are indeed taken away. Hikora uncovers the dark fate of the one who's "it".
