Description

This game was created based on the book "Oku no Hosomichi", written by historical Japanese haiku poet Basho Matsuo. During his life, Basho Matsuo visited many famous places in Japan, leaving his magnificent poems at those locations. In "BASHO", the player takes on the role of a god who protects travelers, resolving various obstacles encountered along Basho's journey.

The game also includes expressions of perspective that use the distinctive light and dark tones of ink paintings. By adjusting the shade of ink, the player will be able to manipulate elements in the background or foreground. This is a game that allows players to enjoy its unique characters, relaxing music, and the scenery of famous Japanese locations in the setting of "Oku no Hosomichi".
