In this Japanese-style 2D action game, players face a core choice with every yokai encounter: defeat the monsters or befriend them. Chagama, a ghostly raccoon tasked by a monk to handle rampaging threats, sees outcomes shift based on these decisions. Defeating yokai earns gratitude from people but makes them vanish, while soothing them with food preserves the creatures at the cost of human hostility.
The free-to-play action loop revolves around gathering items that differ by choice-combat yields one set, befriending another-then combining them into kusuri medicines. These kusuri alter actions and stats to conquer tough obstacles. Strategy fans who enjoy branching stories and item-based choices will find the most to unpack here.

Defeat the enemy or befriend the enemy? Japanese style 2D action with a story that changes depending on your choice.
Story.
Chagama, a ghostly raccoon, is assigned to exterminate rampaging monsters on behalf of a monk.
When he defeats the yokai, the Japanese monsters, people thank him, but the yokai disappears.
If you befriend and soothe the yokai, the yokai will not disappear, but the people will turn against you.

Game System.
What makes this game unique is that you can choose whether to defeat your enemies or befriend them.
The items you get will change depending on whether you attack and defeat enemies or befriend them by giving them food.
You can also combine items to create "kusuri," items that change your actions and stats.
With a "kusuri" you can overcome obstacles that would normally be impossible to overcome.
The key to the strategy is what items you get to make the medicine, and whether you defeat or befriend your enemies in order to do so.
