Bounty Hunter in the Village

Nagumo and the Snake God’s Wine weaves together elements of Japanese folk horror, subtle mystery, and a deeply personal story of trust, belief, and desire. Navigate the tension between a hunter’s mission and the village’s unsettling warmth—the kind of comfort that whispers for you to stay… forever.

ABOUT THE GAME

A warm welcome. A chilling truth.

Adventurer Nagumo takes on what appears to be a straightforward job: eliminate a monster said to be haunting her hometown. But upon her arrival, something feels… off. The village is too friendly. Smiles linger just a little too long. Praise feels oddly rehearsed. And everywhere she goes, someone insists she try the local treasure the Snake God’s Wine, a drink steeped in legend and whispered warnings.

The longer Nagumo remains, the more her sharp instincts begin to blur. Sounds stretch unnaturally, colors grow too vivid, and familiar faces start to feel like masks hiding something darker.

Who truly needs rescuing the village from a monster, or Nagumo from the village?

Uncover the truth behind the sacred wine and confront what lurks in the fields, the shrines… and the hearts of those who call this place home.
