Haunted Room! Urami-chan

■What is Urami-chan?

In this "life-intervention watching game," you control the earthbound spirit "Urami-chan." Travel between an apartment's past and present to change the murdered resident's future. The game unfolds in semi-real time, tasking you to watch over the resident and intervene.

■The Story

December 31, 1988. Due to the murder of a resident “Ms. Noroi” in one of her apartment rooms, the apartment was in danger of being demolished.

It was a story that was no stranger to “Urami-chan,” the earthbound spirit in her room. Jishibei spirits disappear when they no longer have a place to call their own. With the advice of the human spirit “Onebii,” she returned to the past and took action to change Noroi's future.

■How to Play

One month from the time Ms. Noroi moved in until she was murdered. The player returns to the past from the calendar of the room where the murder took place and intervenes in Ms. Noroi's life for three hours until the resident, Ms. Noroi, returns home and goes to bed, to make her presence known.

What “Urami-chan” can do

• call

Punching furniture and fixtures can bring Ms. Noroi in.

If Ms. Noroi is concentrated, he may not notice.

• telekinesis

The spirit power can be used to possess or manipulate the furniture.

■Game Flow

After 3 hours, the player returns to the original time, and if something changes, the date to return is updated. By using telekinesis to cause small “anomalies” at first, the past is gradually changed.
