Overview
About this game
Black Omens: House of Crimson Silk is a first-person, single-player puzzle horror experience set in a fictional version of Edo-era Japan.
You play as Idate Chiyo, a junior investigator of the Tokugawa Shogunate’s Magical Arcane Division. Her first assignment leads to a secluded mansion hidden deep within the forests surrounding the coastal city of Gōtsu in Shimane Prefecture — and a once-prosperous household now abandoned.
Sightings of strange disturbances have begun to circulate throughout the countryside. The local villagers whisper of restless spirits. And the wealthy family who once lived there have vanished almost overnight.
Within the silent halls of the Hon'iden Mansion, Chiyo will encounter lingering apparitions, cursed artifacts, and fragments of a family history better left forgotten.
Escape Puzzle Horror
Scour the mansion for clues and solve escape room-inspired contraptions to unlock new areas and uncover the lingering truth hidden within this haunted place.
Paranormal Perception
As an investigator of the Magical Arcane Division, Chiyo possesses supernatural abilities which allow her to perceive and interact with forces beyond the ordinary world, amongst other tools needed to purge the curses hindering her progress.
House of Secrets
Piece together the fate of a powerful merchant family whose ambitions, and forbidden attachments have left behind a spiritual scar in their former estate.
Edo-era Atmosphere
The Hon'iden Mansion is both an immersive and terrifying experience, crafted with a heady mix of authenticity and terror in mind.
