Run the gate of a supernatural shrine festival in Monban: Spirit Gate, an arcade deduction game about suspicious paperwork, impatient yokai and one very helpful cat. Read the ticket, inspect the spirit and make your call before the hourglass empties.
A Kappa needs a cucumber. A blue lantern means a toll. A torn ticket needs purification. But a forbidden visitor must still be turned away. Learn how 18 rules interact, spot the exceptions, and chain Purify, Charge and Admit into a satisfying final stamp. The Shrine Cat can reveal your next move when you need a little help.
Correct decisions build your combo and earn coins. Risk a wager to double a visitor's stamp points, or protect your streak with an omamori charm. Mistakes extinguish Haunt lanterns; lose them all and the shift ends.
Work through six chapters with changing scenery, ten kinds of nightly event, recurring spirits and boss inspections. Meet a fox reporter, a lost ghost and a suspiciously well-connected bookkeeper across 30 authored visits. Five chapter decisions shape which of three endings you discover.
Choose Cosy, Normal or Cursed difficulty. Between-shift checkpoints let you retry a failed night without restarting the whole campaign.
Between shifts, explore the night market as the shrine cat. The guests you admitted wander the festival. Visit Kichi's stall for nine upgrades for your current run and repeatable services, draw an omikuji fortune from Hana, then return to the torii for the next night.
A single-player game of observation, quick decisions and supernatural hospitality. Personal scores are saved locally; Daily Shift does not require an online leaderboard.
