Kunitsu-Gami is a relatively small-scale, defiantly odd game that could have been ripped straight from that 2000s heyday. With its sequence of small, confined stages, focused action, and a tight gameplay loop, it feels more like a remaster of some lost PS2 game than a true product of 2024 (complimentary). Its richly detailed, grotesque art is inspired by traditional Japanese folklore and illustration styles, and that aesthetic combines with the premise to create a unique atmosphere that’s both eerie and beguiling. It’s a true one-off.
