Games Like Cursed Merchant of Kyoto

On the fringes of Heian-kyo, along the grim road to Toribeno where the dead are carried, stands your shop. You are a disgraced Onmyoji, turning the key to your storefront once more today.

Buy cursed artifacts on the cheap, purify them under the cover of night, and flip them for a profit the next morning—welcome to a 4-chapter, 28-turn shop management sim.

But as the days blur together, an eerie unease creeps in. Why does no customer ever return? What is the shop’s Nekomata truly hiding? What is that unsettling feeling radiating from your younger sister? And what is the truth behind the dark rumors whispered by your clientele?

As the shopkeeper, every transaction brings you closer to the pitch-black heart of Heian-kyo.
