Aka Manto (Japanese for 'Red Mantle') is a Survival Horror game for PC, developed by Chilla's Art and released through Steam on September 23rd, 2019. It is Inspired by… a Japanese Urban Legend about the titular y�kai.You've just been sent into a school building as part of some sort of punishment. The conditions are simple: Explore the building for a bit. Should seem simple enough, right?However, someone's in the building with you. And it seems they have homicidal intent planned.

Multiple Endings

comment
Multiple Endings: The game has a good and bad ending. Good Ending - Aka Manto Killed: The protagonist slays the Aka Manto with the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, putting an end to the string of murders connected to the abandoned school, albeit she does question as to whether the things she experienced were truly real. Notably one of the few rare positive endings from a Chilla's Art game with very few bittersweet implications. Bad Ending - Escaped: The protagonist successfully flees the school from the rooftop, but with the Aka Manto still at large, the murders will only continue.

 Aka Manto (Video Game) / int_45398e01
comment
Psycho Knife Nut: Instead of the more gruesome deaths that it inflicts in the urban legend, the Aka Manto here opts to stab you to death with a knife as it chases you. This is a hint that this may not be the actual Aka Manto, and that it Was Once a Man.

But Thou Must!: You must pick up the red paper on the door with graffiti in the bathroom asking you "Red Paper? Blue Paper?" to obtain the key to progress, which makes the Aka Manto aware of your presence in the school.

Disproportionate Retribution: Why are you being "punished" by Maiko and Haruna into exploring a place associated with mysterious deaths and missing girls all over? A single throwaway line implies you got too close to Maiko's boyfriend for her comfort.

Air-Vent Passageway: You can move about in the air ducts around the school, which is helpful for avoiding the Aka Manto as it cannot chase you through them. Just watch out for the giant centipede.

Through the Eyes of Madness
 Aka Manto (Video Game) / int_5d5cc3fd
comment
Through the Eyes of Madness: When Aka Manto spots you or is nearby, the screen fills up with Japanese text telling you to flee, and in both endings, with no proof of the Aka Manto remaining whether it lives or dies, it's questionable if the protagonist even actually met the entity or the whole haunting was something more psychological.

Hell Is That Noise: Being spotted by the Aka Manto results in it screaming as it chases after you, while a cacophony of a rushing heartbeat and instruments play to emphasize running like hell or being stabbed to death.

Retraux
 Aka Manto (Video Game) / int_92dfffae
comment
Retraux: The game uses 3D graphics, but has very low-resolution textures, presumably in order to emulate classic horror games from the original PlayStation. However, while other Retraux horrors going for the same aesthetic have also emulated the third-person perspective with fixed camera angles (i.e., Back in 1995), this game is still played in first person, like the much more modern Amnesia: The Dark Descent-style horror games.

Cool Sword: The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, a sword sealed within a shrine at the school that can be unsealed by offering all of the rainbow colored papers. It is the key to getting the good ending and can kill the Aka Manto in a single stab.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The bad ending is managing to get the right conditions together to escape the school from the rooftop, but ultimately this means there's no resolution to Aka Manto and more people will inevitably die if they go near its haunting grounds.

Animesque: The two fellow female students, Maiko and Haruna, that force you into exploring the abandoned school look like this (Haruna in particular bears a striking resemblance to Ayano Aishi/Yandere-chan), which contrasts with the entire rest of the game having more of a realistic style, at least within its Retraux graphics.

comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: After helping Nagisa, you could end the game right then and there by escaping from the rooftop, but this leads to the bad ending. To obtain the good ending, you have to collect all of the colored papers to unseal the shrine to resolve the threat permanently. Notably, this is one of the few games by Chilla's Art to have a mostly positive good ending, with the protagonist's life intact.

One-Winged Angel: Later in the game, the Aka Manto gets angry that the protagonist continues to evade it and lets out a bloodcurdling roar, gaining a more disturbing appearance with wide Black Eyes of Crazy, a darker red cloak, and a deeper, more demonic scream when it spots you. It also becomes much more persistent when it chases after you.

Was Once a Man: The implications of the Apocalyptic Log throughout the game is that a new student of the school that was bullied, Atsushi, ended up dead under mysterious circumstances matching Aka Manto murders, and then transformed into an Aka Manto and racked up a high enough body count to force the place to close down, leaving him haunting it.
