Hachi: Eight Feet Tall

Hachi: Eight Feet Tall is a chilling folklore-inspired psychological horror game rooted in the eerie Japanese urban legend of Hachi—a spectral, towering woman who relentlessly pursues those unfortunate enough to hear her whisper. Players step into the shoes of a teenager returning to their secluded rural hometown, only to realize that a long-buried childhood terror has awakened, waiting for them. Something impossibly tall, unnaturally pale, and murmuring a haunting refrain: “po… po… po…” has returned.

The Legend is Real

When the strange, rhythmic chanting echoes near your grandmother’s house, the signs begin—flickering lights that shouldn’t dim, disembodied whispers in empty rooms, and elongated shadows that defy logic. Hachi: Eight Feet Tall masterfully crafts an atmosphere of creeping dread and inescapable paranoia as the entity draws nearer with each passing night. Running is futile, but survival is not impossible—if you know the old ways.

• Ward off the unseen: Deploy traditional Shinto charms, salt barriers, and spirit-sealing talismans to slow Hachi’s approach.
• Time is your enemy: Seek refuge in designated safe rooms before dusk, adhering to your family’s long-forgotten rules of protection.
• Beware reflections: Mirrors lie—Hachi’s silhouette is always taller than reality, her presence warping the glass.

Seven Days of Dread

You have exactly one week to complete an ancient ritual that might sever Hachi’s cursed bond with you. Each day brings fresh horrors: phantom phone calls from disconnected lines, hallways that shift when unobserved, and villagers who speak in riddles rather than admit the truth. The deeper you dig, the clearer it becomes—Hachi’s history is woven into the village itself.

• Unearth forbidden knowledge: Decipher shrine archives that reveal Hachi’s tragic past and the grim cycle binding her to the living.
• Secrets in silence: Your grandmother’s cryptic words hold the key to unlocking the family shrine—if you ask the right questions.
• A futile retreat: Drive Hachi from one location, only to hear her breath behind you moments later.

Multiple Endings, One Haunting Presence

Your choices—and the relics you uncover—determine your fate. Will you escape, disappear without a trace, or become another voice in Hachi’s endless chorus? Each ending offers its own brand of terror, but only one may grant true freedom from her ceaseless chant.

• The Silent Ending: Survive by never acknowledging her voice—but at what cost?
• The Bell’s Toll: Discover a rusted ritual bell that can repel Hachi—temporarily.
• The Echo Ending: A dangerous gamble—answer her chant at the precise moment, and the consequences are irreversible.

Hachi: Eight Feet Tall is a slow, suffocating descent into fear—where being noticed means being hunted. If her whispers reach you… your time has already run out.
