Halt! A crazy stalker has caught you lurking into dangerous territory! He is letting you know that you've reached the end of the spoiler free territory. If you don't want to become his victim and play the game first. Please leave now!
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

The game starts off with the protagonist (who is unnamed) arriving at an abandoned inn in the middle of a forest during a blizzard. Unfortunately for him, his children had been kidnapped and is forced to go to the location in which they are being held.

After arriving at the inn, the protagonist will enter through the main entrance. Once the player enters the inn, they will not be able to walk out from where they came from. From this point onwards, the player is left to make the decisions on how they will find the missing kids. Armed with only a flashlight, the protagonist will have to explore different areas, solve puzzles and gather items in order to unlock rooms and progress further while avoiding the Yuki Onna herself. If she catches you while exploring the place, she will immediately start chasing after you in the attempts to kill you. You will be able to tell that she's close by, when the screen starts to shake. When she is very close to you, you will hear a loud scream. And distorted music will play when she starts chasing after you. Unfortunately for you, inside the inn are eyeballs that are seen throughout the walls of the inn that help the Yuki Onna locate where the player is. On top of that, she has the capability of teleporting to different areas. The player will know this by seeing blue swirled marks on the walls on some of the rooms. The only way for you to make the Yuki Onna stop chasing after you is by running away until she is out of reach. Since you have limited stamina, use it when it's absolutely necessary. You can also avoid some of the eyeballs by crouching down, as this can prevent the Yuki Onna from locating you. You can also hide in different places around the inn. With the most notable being closets or pots. But it will only work if Yuki Onna did not see you going in there.

The Yuki Onna will officially start hunting the player once they enter the inn. If the player any point is hurt, they can buy a first aid kit within a Gachapon to help restore them back to full health.

The player will also have to watch out for slime along the way. Because they can play an effect on you when you're trying to run away from the Yuki Onna. The player will notice this as they are on the ground. If they get caught in any of them, you will have to remove it off.

Around the halfway point into the game, the Yuki Onna will start to act more aggressive towards the player. With her appearance looking more disheveled. With messy hair, a dark kimono, and holding a long crystal club. She will also be more prone to teleporting and will run faster than before. The screams she makes will now sound more demonic than before.

There are two endings in which the player can achieve with both endings requiring different steps to complete them. Along with that, the player can also read some ice crystals that are scattered around the abandoned inn and learn more about how the Yuki Onna came to be.

	+ Both protagonists have limited stamina.
