Otokiyome

I stole a precious rock from a shrine and ended up being crushed by the mountain deity. Would steal again. Otokiyome is based on the idea of VTuber Shirakawa Yuri, who plays the deity of sound here, and helps you purify the monsters. You wake up to the ring of your doorbell, and find a laptop, which upon opening introduces you to Yuri, she will be your companion for the rest of the game. Your task is to purify several unclean spaces around the village over the course of 5 days, while regaining your memories and uncovering the games story. Place the laptop and keep it safe from monsters. The map is nice, a Japanese countryside village, I have only seen this being used by two Chillas Art games. Im not a VTuber fan, but Yuris model and voice are very cute. The English subtitles are well translated. While lacking in the horror department, the sound design is really good. You can find coins around the map to save your game on shrines, Yuri will also tell you if a coin is close, that makes finding them easier. The whole saving mechanic feels very useless though, as the game saves upon completing a day, and dying is really hard to achieve. After you beat the game you unlock a harder difficulty, but you cant use the shrine for saving there, so yeah, completely useless. Enemies are somewhat annoying, they are always onto you, except you enter safe spaces, and then you have to wait until they made some distance from the spot you need to purify. It would have been a lot better if there were more monsters and they freeroam instead. Otokiyome is overall enjoyable, however it might be a bit pricey for what it is.
