Evaluation

Hanako | 花子さん is a self-contained Japanese survival horror game that launched on December 11, 2020. The store description explicitly frames it as a complete experience of "about 2-4 hours depending on your skill," with a defined feature set including multiple endings, boss fights, and puzzles — all hallmarks of a finished, packaged product. The only developer activity after launch consists of two bug-fix patches released on December 13 and December 14, 2020, addressing small issues such as a broken ending and minor gameplay fixes. No DLC has been announced or listed, no roadmap or post-launch content has ever been communicated, and there have been no developer posts of any kind since December 14, 2020. Chilla's Art released this as a complete, standalone game with no indication of planned additions.

About this game

Hanako | 花子さん is a Japanese survival horror adventure game.

*This game is NOT a "You die, and you lose it all" type of game. It does have a manual save system. About 2-4hrs experience depending on your skill.*

Three 5th graders enter their school way past their curfew to curse a fellow student with the ritual of Hanako. Suddenly, Hanako is now after them, and they are separated. You play the role of one of the students and must find the others and fight through the hauntings of Hanako! Authentic Japanese School Action Survival Horror.

You're trapped in a school bounded by Hanako's curse. You must use everything at your disposal while a stalker roams!

The game will not hold your hands.
