Kuon

Kuon is a horror game set in 12th-century Japan during the Heian period. The story follows three protagonists connected to Doman, an exorcist summoned to investigate a cursed manor.

Players first experience the scenarios of Doman’s daughter, Utsuki, and his disciple, Sakuya. Completing both unlocks a third scenario told from Doman’s perspective, expanding the mystery surrounding the demonic world.

Combining third-person action with puzzle-solving, Kuon emphasizes limited and scarce defensive resources. Alongside physical weapons, players can learn and cast spells and summon creatures such as wolves and spiders to fight undead enemies.
