The Fox's Way Home

The Fox's Way Home is an apparition-finding game centered on a Fox Shrine Maiden’s ritual dances. Watch and memorize each dance, then decide whether the figure performing it is the real shrine maiden or a Mononoke disguised to resemble her. An incorrect judgment causes the ritual to fail immediately. Identify impostors correctly to banish them and light lanterns. Light all eight lanterns to return to your original world. The game also records exposed Mononoke forms in an Apparition Encyclopedia, which you can build by repeating the rituals.
