5. Shadow Corridor

Shadow Corridor Gameplay

Navigate through a traditional Japanese house – which may actually be a sort of porthole or dungeon – in search of ‘magatama’ (special gems).

And oh yeah, you’ll be chased by folkloric Japanese ghosts/spirits. Created by Shiroma, at FLStudio. Boasting very Japanese decors, the attention to detail in the texture maps and surroundings make things feel quite authentic.

If you’re too chicken to meet the monsters, you can play coward and hide in a locker until the coast is clear. Though the gameplay is intense and oppressive, the intro and conclusion allow the player to feel as though they’ve slipped into a hazy summer night’s dreamscape.

Lighting candles makes me more visible? Come at me, ghosts!

Such a pretty house. A shame about its inhabitants.
