Everyone is a streamer.
One haunted school. One shot at going viral.

Kimodameshi Online is an asymmetric online horror game for 4–8 players on voice chat. You explore a deserted Japanese junior high school, frozen in the Showa era since the day of an accident. Everyone wears a GoPro, and the time left isn't a clock — it's your camera's battery.

Stream it. Grow your channel.

Find the photo targets scattered around the school and carry them back outside. Every shot you take — and every scare you survive — pulls in more concurrent viewers, and at the end of the round you gain subscribers: final viewers × subscribe rate.

  • No team wins or losses — your result is how many subscribers your channel gained
  • Subscribers carry over between matches, and there's no level cap
  • Knocked down? A teammate can pull you back up, again and again. But if nobody comes within a minute…

One of your friends is a traitor

One to three traitors are humans possessed by ghosts. They walk alongside you like nothing's wrong — then leave their bodies, drift through walls, and wreck the stream with traps, tricks and sabotage.

  • Streamers can vote at any time during exploration. A traitor who gets a majority of the votes can no longer manifest (appear and attack) for the rest of the match
  • During the preparation phase, traitors can talk to each other and set up drawings and traps in advance
  • Traitors earn subscribers too — stay hidden with no votes on you, and your channel grows faster

Proximity voice chat

Voices fade with distance, go muffled behind walls, and barely carry between floors. Only those who have left their bodies can eavesdrop through walls.
