Overview

[Chilla's Art] Hanako | 花子さん plunges players into a chilling Japanese survival horror experience. This isn't a game where a single mistake means starting over; it features a manual save system, offering a more forgiving yet still intense encounter. The game typically provides a 2-4 hour experience, varying with player skill.

Three fifth-graders decide to perform the ritual of Hanako within their school after curfew, aiming to curse a fellow student. However, the ritual goes awry, and Hanako herself begins to hunt them, separating the group.

Players step into the shoes of one of these students, tasked with locating their friends and navigating the school's haunted halls while evading the relentless pursuit of Hanako.
