About this game
A side-scrolling psychological horror where you only walk ←. The latest entry of the “Tsugunohi” series now takes place in a Showa-retro rural Japanese town! ■ABOUT THIS GAME With over 150 million views across related videos, Tsugunohi has become a cult phenomenon on the internet. In Tsugunohi, the story unfolds simply by moving the protagonist to the left—a unique and minimalist style of Japanese horror. This time, Tsugunohi -A Whisper from the Past-, set in a Showa-retro, decaying rural town, arrives on Steam as a standalone title! The gameplay remains the same as previous Tsugunohi entries—you only move the protagonist to the left. With no complex controls, you can fully immerse yourself in the realistic and uncanny horror crafted by ImCyan. After clearing the game once, a hidden scenario will unlock, offering even more terrifying experiences. For this standalone release, a special Art & Setting Archive has been added, allowing you to explore behind-the-scenes insights and expanded lore.
