Kakurenbo

In a near-future Tokyo, where the shadows of towering, dilapidated buildings stretch long and deep, a sinister game of Otokoyo beckons the city’s children. This isn't the innocent hide-and-seek of playgrounds; it's a terrifying ritual played in a desolate, forgotten district where the only light comes from the glow of their own tech-infused masks. When his younger sister vanishes into the game, a determined boy named Hikora must enter this forbidden zone, risking everything to find her. As Hikora and his companions delve deeper into the city's haunted underbelly, they discover that the stakes are far higher than they imagined. Whispers of demons and ancient curses cling to the crumbling walls, and the children soon realize they are not alone in the decrepit labyrinth. To survive this deadly game, they must confront not only their deepest fears but also the chilling truth behind Otokoyo itself.
