Revenant of Tsushima

Revenant of Tsushima is a first-person Edo-period Japanese folk horror adventure game by Aurora Studio. Play as Tsushima Mewa, a sealed shrine maiden, and travel through a cursed pilgrimage route inspired by the Tōkaidō.

World: Toyokawa Village

While investigating strange events in the village, the player discovers a sealed cave-house behind the old shrine. Its walls are covered with childhood melon fields, and beneath the paint remains a forbidden spell that was never fully erased.

Core Dramatis Personae

• Tsushima Mewa：Calling herself Seigami Mewa, she chooses to become a god after being abandoned by one. Beneath her cold arrogance hides a small, painful wish to return home.
• Tojo Seishi：The only human who can look directly at Seigami. Through spells and restraint, he keeps Mewa from falling completely into darkness.
• Toyokawa Kozueko：The daughter of Toyokawa Village’s headman. Betrayed by the father she trusted, she now holds a stringless koto and plays melodies of resentment from the sealed cave-house.

Yokai and Supernatural Encounters

Revenant of Tsushima features major yokai and supernatural encounters inspired by Japanese folk belief, including Ōtengu, Yuki-onna, Umibōzu, and Kejōrō. These entities are designed as narrative spirits tied to mountain roads, snowbound memory, coastal disasters, and village sacrifice rather than simple enemy monsters.

• Ōtengu / Ootengu / Tengu: a mountain arbiter and high spirit who judges Mewa’s cursed pilgrimage.
• Yuki-onna / Snow Woman: a white apparition from the Mount Fuji chapter who freezes memory through silence and cold.
• Umibōzu / Umibozu / Sea Monk: a maritime calamity born from Suruga Bay, vanished ships, and the memories of those who never returned.
• Kejōrō / Kejoro: the yokai form connected to Toyokawa Kozueko, the sacrificed daughter of Toyokawa Village.
