Japan, 17th century

Yamamoto Tsunemoto, an old samurai who retired to become a Buddhist monk, tells the principles of bushidō to his pupil Tsuramoto Tashiro.

One day, Tashiro's writings will be known to the world under the name of Hagakure. However, the story does not tell of the lazy fat ass known as Koshu Hikosen, Tashiro's secret pupil.

Considered the worst samurai of all time, one night Koshu got incredibly drunk and high and stole Tsunemoto's notes.

Completely misunderstood the meaning of bushidō, Koshu embarked on a mad rush to find any way to die without the commitment of having to fight and the heavy burden of Harakiri.

CONTROLS

Basically the game is an infinite runner about a samurai trying to Harakiri himself.

We control which action the character will perform based on which card we’ll use.

Every card has limited uses and we can pickup them along the path.

Our main goal is to avoid any obstacle for prolonging his life as much as possible.

When the game will be over our samurai will share with us some of his ancient wisdom.

Q to walk

W to run

E to jump
