ABOUT
Change your form, and maybe even your fate?
Shizuku: Japanese myth (Kamikara no Shizuku) is a 2D action-adventure game set in Japanese mythology.
The heroine's weapon? Her power to transform!
Change your form to open new paths, and break through the enemies in your way!
…That said, brute force isn't always the answer.
Talk with the characters you meet, and trade words with enemies you never expected to. Sometimes, talking might get you further than fighting.
Fight? Transform? Or talk it out?
The choice is yours.
Encounters, mysteries, and countless trials await in the world of Japanese myth.
There is no set way to win. Use your wits and ingenuity to carve out an adventure all your own!
So, how will you transform?
That one move might just change the world.
NEWS
Release news and updates from the team.
STORY
Long, long ago.
A precious drum was stolen
from the village of the foxes.
The chase leads from the Oni Village
to the bamboo grove and the torii road.
Every tribe she meets has its own story.
Change your form, and what you can do changes. So do the roads you can take, and who will talk to you.
Transform
Rin is a girl of the fox clan, who can transform.
Any time, right where she stands, she can change her form.
Change your form, and everything you can do changes with it.

The lightest form, and Rin's own.
Dash
Hold Special
Hold to break into a run. One end of the village to the other in no time.

The fighting form, with a wooden sword.
Three-hit combo

Three swings in a row. The third sends an Oni flying.
Double jump
Jump in midair
Jump once more in midair. Higher than the torii.
Slide
Special
Nothing can hit you mid-slide. Slip around behind the Oni.
Aerial spin slash
Attack in midair
Attacks in midair deal heavy damage. Every Oni around you goes down together.
Hold to charge
The brute-force form. It even gets you into the Oni Village.
Charged headbutt

Charge up, then charge in. Smashes the brittle rocks that block the way.
Upward headbutt

Butt straight up. The longer the charge, the higher you fly.

Dish throw
Attack
Throw the dish from your head. It flies straight out and comes right back to your hand.
Water shot
Hold Special
Keep firing water for as long as you hold. It only reaches a short way.
Vacuum
Sucks in, then blows them away. The form that makes wind with its belly.
Suck in, then blow
Hold Special, release
The longer you suck in, the bigger the belly and the stronger the wind. At full strength it sends an Oni flying far away.
Three-hit combo
Attack ×3
Three hits in a row. The third sends an Oni flying.
Talk, learn, and move the world.
What people tell you changes with the form you talk to them in, how far the story has gone, and how close you have become. And a race that will not normally speak to you might open up once you transform...?!
As a Red Oni, even the Oni Village lets you in.
Chasing the stolen drum, Rin slips into the Oni Village disguised as a Red Oni. Not one villager suspects a thing. They call her "you" and hand her chores.
As she helps out, the life of the village and its old tales come into view. No one doubts her, and she is the only one telling a lie.
WORLD
Forests, villages, bamboo, torii,
and the lives of the Oni and the Kappa.
A Japan both beautiful
and somehow nostalgic.
A journey through Japanese myth.
The foxes
could transform.
Those who block your way are no ordinary Oni.
SYSTEM
Change your form, and the road changes with you.
Take on the villagers' requests, and you start to see how they live.
Cracked ground gives way to a hip drop.
Found by the roadside and in treasure chests. Fried tofu goes in your bag too.
Buy herbs and food from the travelling merchant.
