    OBAKEIDORO! is a fantastic, family-friendly version of Dead by Daylight that just about anyone will find addicting. At first, I thought I’d only want to play it for a round or two, but I found myself unable to put down my Switch until several hours later. OBAKEIDORO!’s charm is in its deceptive simplicity — there are so many little balancing acts happening at once that melt together into pure casual, spooky fun. Bet you can’t play just one round of OBAKEIDORO!; once you’ve entered this creepy cute world, you’re here forever.

    Obakeidoro! is a game like Dead by Daylight but for family users.
    It is simple so I became addicted to it.
    One of my friends living in Japan    Obakeidoro! is a game like Dead by Daylight but for family users.
    It is simple so I became addicted to it.
    One of my friends living in Japan introduced this game to me as the game was free-give-away from Nintendo, which means great game, right?
    I can play as a ghost to chase humans, or play as humans to run around/ hide.
    It is fun that we can play both sides.
    In addition, there are so many on-line matches to join, so it is not like a game just sits there.
    it changes time-to-time!
    Why don't you play with your family? It is fun!    … Full Review »

    Obakeidoro is a game I hadn't heard of until recently, but it immediately caught my attention. I'm a big fan of similar games like Dead ByObakeidoro is a game I hadn't heard of until recently, but it immediately caught my attention. I'm a big fan of similar games like Dead By Daylight and Friday the 13th, so seeing a game with similar gameplay - but with the adorableness of the little anime chibi characters - made me instantly want to buy it.

    Obakeidoro, simply put, is a fun game. If you play as a human, your goal is to survive 3 minutes, and if you play as a monster, your goal is to capture all the humans before 3 minutes is up. I've played it both with friends and online with strangers, and most of the time I've really enjoyed it, and it has been tons of fun. The gameplay and mechanics are very simplistic, but the variation in maps and monsters keeps the game feeling fresh each time I jump into it. The artstyle and game direction in general are very charming, and make the game nice to look at.

    The community playing the game is relatively small - I sometimes end up playing with the same people - but the game replaces players with CPU's if it can't find any real players to fill the lobby. The CPU's are mostly competent, and so they don't feel like they're making the game worse. A major criticism I have though is that it's not uncommon to bump into cheaters when playing the game - there has been numerous times I've played as the monster, but have been unable to catch the humans because they're using cheats that make me unable to grab them. This is frustrating, but it isn't frequent enough to ruin the game.

    There has not been any new content added to the game for months now, and I'm really hoping more gets added in the future - the game is lots of fun, and it clearly has a small but dedicated community who still play it, even after a year since launch. I can imagine continuing to play this game for a long time into the future, especially if there's more updates adding new maps, humans and monsters!    … Full Review »

    Very fun game! I just wish it was as popular as it is in Japan.
