Evaluation

Hachishakusama launched on July 29, 2026 and has been receiving regular updates since. On July 31, 2026, the developer added language support for three languages and new in-game events. On August 1, 2026, a bug fix addressed a progression-blocking issue. On August 10, 2026, a significant feature patch added multiple new interactive events in the game's "Red World" area — including new animations, a playable piano, and seesaw interactions with the titular character. Crucially, that August 10, 2026 patch post also explicitly announced the developer's next planned feature: a new mode where players can take a walk with Hachishakusama through the village. The developer noted the development window for this mode will be relatively short, as they intend to begin work on their next game afterward, but they have clearly committed to delivering this content and are soliciting player ideas for it. This is a concrete, developer-stated announcement of unshipped content.

About this game

"She Is Always Right Beside You"
Due to his father’s circumstances, a young boy, Saku, finds himself visiting the rural village of Kibuse with him.

There, he ended up captivating a mysterious Ghost that dwells in the land—Hachishakusama, the eight-feet-tall urban legend.
From that moment on, his summer begins to change.

She is always by his side, never leaving.

Is it fear… or something else?

Trapped in days with no escape, what choice will the boy make?

This is a heartwarming yet terrifying Japanese horror game.
