About
Medieval Japan. An evil daimyo lord has stolen the treasures of Imperial family and hidden them in his castle in an attempt to seize power. As a young Shinobi apprentice, you have decided to sneak into the castle, recover the treasures and return them to their rightful owners to bring prominence to your clan. However, a member of a competing clan has also discovered daimyo's scheme and is on the same mission as you. Do whatever it takes to be the first to recover stolen items and bring honour to your clan.
Please check out the game manual in the sidebar for full explanation of all game mechanics!
You control one of two shinobis competing to recover stolen treasures and escape the castle.
You will need to:
thoroughly search the castle to locate and collect all items
hinder your opponent's efforts by setting up tricks and obstacles
if necessary, challenge your opponent in a direct fight
Use all of your shinobi training to accomplish the mission:
ninja's tools: locks and smoke bombs
powerful spirits you can summon to guard items and passages
defensive countermeasures to break tricks set up by your opponent
martial arts if a direct confrontation becomes inevitable
Play against the CPU or another player, over split-screen or network.

You should at least try the game, its free after all! Very fun, if a bit complex for my tiny brain, but highly recommend!
Cool game Change the controls so that search and open inventory are different buttons please!

Great game, lots of love went into it and it shows. The optional single button mode is nice, and the tilde debug menu placed a tear in my eye. Warmly recommended, without any shadow of a doubt. Works amazingly well on the Steamdeck, but I am not sure why it doesn't use the whole screen's width...
Enjoyed this one! Brought back SvS memories, which is a plus in my book :)
Good game however the game mechanics are not very well explained in my opinion. I took a good amount of time before I realised how to pick up more than one item which was kind of frustrating. Nice concept and very cool artstyle. Once you get the grasp of it the game can be a lot of fun. Decide for yourself. This game was chosen as the 5th game of this years edition of the steam garbage calendar.
I am a 52 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing Escape From Castle Matsumoto. I am a single father to my Son, who is 14 now. My son found this game at Christmas, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So I decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. Loaded into the game world and started playing but I was stuck on what you were supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he helped me. Loved it as it was the best time had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories. Thank you <3
他のゲームでは普通に使えているコントローラー(ゲームパッド)がまともに使えず、移動がほとんどできない状態(方向キーを連打していれば多少は動くが)。 そもそもゲームにならなかった。
