Image 3 - Tenome

Experience a terrifying Asylum Jam 2017 winner from Nyar, creator of Lady Ice and The Room. Set in the Yamanashi prefecture, 1980. Experience a horrifying Japanese folklore legend come to life in this game jam submission, initially created within 48 hours. During World War 2, Japan had an urgent need for many schools. Rumour has it that the government built the schools on cheap land such as graveyards and burial sites. Witness one such school which is home to the Tenome, a Japanese yokai with eyes on its palms and feeds on the fresh bones of humans. See through the eyes of Kei Tanaka; a bullied, asthmatic student who has been locked inside of the school at night. Tenome is inspired by Hideyuki Hirayama's Gakkō no Kaidan.
