Other name: こっくりさん, Kokkuri-san

Description:

"Kokkuri" delves into a chilling Japanese ritual when a group of friends gathers for a seemingly harmless pastime. Intrigued by the popular game Kokkuri, they decide to summon Kokkurisan, a spirit believed to answer any question. What begins as an innocent quest for fun and trivial answers quickly spirals into a terrifying ordeal.

The spirit, far from being a benign entity, starts to unearth the deepest and darkest secrets each girl harbors. Past betrayals, hidden resentments, and shocking truths are systematically revealed, tearing apart the fabric of their close-knit friendships. As Kokkurisan exposes their concealed misdeeds and vulnerabilities, the casual game transforms into a nightmarish confrontation. Paranoia and distrust infect the group, forcing the girls to turn violently against each other. "Kokkuri" explores how a supernatural encounter can unravel the most trusted bonds, leaving a wake of suspicion and irreversible damage.
