Hikikomori - A Story of Isolation

Game Information

Story Overview

Created during the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, Hikikomori tells a story that resonates with the global experience of isolation...

You embody a young man who has chosen the path of a Hikikomori - a social recluse. Your daily life consists of gaming, online interactions, writing poetry, and playing your rusty guitar.

Haunted by memories of your past, you find yourself at a crossroads. Despite finding comfort in your isolated world, a part of you yearns for a return to normal life.

An opportunity presents itself through an email from the "Yuka-Yuka Center" - a rehabilitation facility offering support in your journey back to society. They extend their hand to help you with social reintegration and finding employment.

The choice lies before you: Will you take their offer and step back into the world, or remain in your familiar solitude?
