A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Hiro's family has been scattered by the Onin War in 1467 feudal Japan. He must sneak past guards using sticks and wits, making his way through the Yamana clan's growing territory. Maneuver past guards or bait them into their allies' arrows and sword slashes. Get ready for close calls, narrow escapes, unintended solutions, and unexpected danger...

“A samurai tale told through the eyes of a commoner.”

Jordan Gerblick - GamesRadar+

“Easily accessible stealth action gameplay... Highly recommended.”
Calum Fraser - AlphaBetaGamer

“...seeing the style put with a more narrative, stealthy game was a breath of fresh air.”
Jupiter Hadley - IndieGamesPlus

  • Demo playtime: 1-2 hr.

  • Keyboard and controller support (Xbox 360 controller-optimized).
  • Pause + Esc will Save and Quit. Continue by re-opening the game.

Mac error after downloading?:
If you are getting the Mac error about the app not being trusted, this is a weird thing that Mac does when downloading apps from the internet. The app has been signed properly and it is safe to install anyway (go to your settings). The other alternative is to use the itch.io app.

Awesome! It's always fun to see the different ways people approach stuff. I loved the way you just brute forced the last enemy in the 3rd level. Forget that soundwave stuff, just knock him out! haha

Awesome game! Great music! It felt like I was playing it in a gameboy! After starting playing it, I couldn't stop until finishing it! Great job!

Thanks! It looks like you have an older version of the game that doesn't count your score properly. Re-downloading the newest version should take care of that!

That's something weird! I already check it and the version is the latest version you have here. I downloaded it less than a month ago. Don't know...

Are there plans for a Linux build?

Someday. Unfortunately I haven't had a Linux machine in ages. No timeline I'm afraid, but someday after release.
