Available on #Steam and #itchio with a beefy demo up on both! This was a huge labor of love made almost entirely by Daikon, and drawing on our love of local legends and folk tales! We hope you enjoy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAWFFxVA9bQ https://store.steampowered.com/app/4296200/Hamayumishi_Night_Parade_of_a_Hundred_Yokai/ https://nicegeargames.itch.io/hamayumishiproject https://hamayumishi.nicegear.games/#english #IndieGame #IndieGames #IndieDev #GameDev
