“CowaCowa: Jinmenken” is a 3D horror adventure inspired by Japanese urban legends. Explore a hand-drawn 2.5D world from a first-person perspective as you uncover the mysteries of eerie phenomena.
The Jinmenken(Human-Faced Dog) is a Japanese urban legend about a dog with a human face. While its body resembles a typical dog, its face has human-like features, and it is often seen at night or in deserted places. Its bizarre appearance and eerie presence have given rise to many rumors and horror stories. Some say it laughs or even speaks in human language, adding to the unsettling nature of this mysterious creature.
You play as a young boy searching for his missing friend in a quiet residential area at night. While investigating the rumors of the “Jinmenken” — a dog with a human face — you are drawn deeper into unsettling events and hidden horrors.
The hand-drawn 2.5D illustrations depict a Japanese residential neighborhood, setting a sinister and eerie mood. The curved depth of the environment makes it hard to see far ahead, heightening the sense of anxiety and drawing the player into the unknown. As a young boy, you’ll light up the dark streets with your flashlight, facing the lurking terrors of the silent night.
Recommended for horror enthusiasts, those intrigued by Japanese urban legends and eerie atmospheres, and players who enjoy immersive exploration.
