Overview
About this game
Kodoku is a single-player survival horror game.
Within an otherworld sealed inside a jar, players must gather “Souls” while hiding from relentless, nightmarish creatures.
■ Into the Jar-Bound Otherworld
The protagonist, Urohoshi, a university professor of folklore, journeys deep into the mountains in search of a friend who vanished without a trace—drawn there by a grotesque statue of Kannon.
After leaping into a massive jar found at the site, Urohoshi awakens in an otherworld ruled entirely by monsters.
A man whose head is fused with a jar.
A skeleton dragging an enormous ox cart.
In a realm dominated by grotesque beings, Urohoshi encounters a solitary young girl.
“For my sake, gather souls within the jar.”
Thus begins Urohoshi’s journey—to survive, and to return alive to the world of the living…
