Geimu Chagama Monogatari

About

Geimu Chagama Monogatari is a platformer with beat-em-up combat where your choices shape progress. Play as Chagama, a spectral raccoon tasked with dealing with supernatural threats. Each encounter lets you either fight foes or offer them food to turn them friendly. Defeating enemies and making allies unlocks different items which you mix into "kusuri" potions. These modify abilities and let you tackle challenges otherwise impossible. The game emphasizes resource management and decision making as you balance which items to collect and how to handle enemies. The story tracks Chagama's mission to stop rampaging monsters while navigating shifting social dynamics. Help yokai creatures and you risk public backlash. Destroy them and gain approval but lose potential allies. With 83% of players on Steam completing the main story, the branching consequences add replay value. The hand-drawn art style and tight combat mechanics have drawn praise from indie game communities. Short but dense levels encourage experimentation with the potion system to find optimal solutions.

Storyline

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. See how the story of "Chagama" ends.
