Story :

"Ton~ton~ton
One, two, three, four
Five, six
The name (na) is seven (nana)
 Until the seventh, as a child of God
After the seventh, as a child of Human
as a child of Human...

Ton~ton~ton
People (one) and the Gods'
Double overlapping roles
The well (mii/three), the bridge, the four-way intersection
One day (five) come to them
Wrap in a nappy (six) on the seventh night passing
I become one of them (eight)
Become one of them..."



Subjective Review :

Oshichiya (Seventh night) is the ritual of welcoming baby seven days after birth and giving the baby a name. The children born is considered to exit between life and death and starting with this ritual, one is considered to be established as a child of human in this world.

In this game we will play as the girl, who trapped in God's house and start to exploring. We must not meet yokai or we will die immediately. But, don't worry, there are some fellas who will side us along the journey and don't mind if we're in human form, not disguise.
  • Sunekosuri 

  • Chochinbi (Paper Lantern)

  • Hifuki-baba
  • Ohaguro-bettari

  • Guest
  • Ungaikyou (The mirror)

Apparently in this game, Sunekosuri and The Girl will separated into two placed by the mirror in second floor. They will be placed into a place called 'front' and 'reverse' or 'yin' and 'yang'. They can exchange viewpoint, place, or items through the mirror (after separated) or contact each other (before separated).

To deceive the yokai, we can use these two items :
  • Torn old umbrella, ask Sunekosuri to exchange it with Te no me in exchange room
  • Oni mask, you can obtain it after doing Hifuki-baba errands

In the middle of the game, the girl has to through the winter passageway in reverse side.  In the center of passageway, there's a O-Jizo-san with no hat. If the girl force through the way, snow storm will approach and it's a game over. The girl must handed something to cover O-Jizo-san head with two items : Torn old umberella, or Kiki Mimi Zukin (red hood). I suggest to give torn old umbrella to O-Jizo-san cause Kiki Mimi Zukin can help you to listen what rat's say and get a hint to win the Gambling session (if you want to gambling with five oni)

Actually there is one another way : hold the bell of yin yang.

And as suggestion, since The oni mask has endurance's limit, it's best to use Sunekosuri to contact the yokai after giving Torn Old Umbrella to O-Jizo-san.
