Onryo

About

Onryo tasks you with clearing a cursed Japanese house using nothing but a special camera. You navigate dimly lit halls snapping photos to banish spirits while managing resources like film and light bulbs. The game mixes stealth and puzzle solving as you uncover the mansion's dark history. Each room hides new threats and environmental clues that tie into the central mystery. The game’s tight focus on atmosphere and resource management creates consistent tension. Players appreciate the moody visuals and the way the camera mechanic recontextualizes traditional jump scares. While short by modern standards, the 4-6 hour runtime maintains a steady pace without bloated sections. Its niche approach to horror earned it a 78% positive rating on Steam from users who enjoy methodical paranormal investigation.
