Inari is a game designed for computer environments, compatible with both Windows and MacOS. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the game weaves various elements of Japan’s culture and history. Central to its gameplay is a "bullet hell" mechanic, which immerses players in a realm of fast-paced action, challenging them with intricate patterns of projectiles and requiring thoughtful resource management. As players navigate this challenging landscape, they will encounter various enemies and NPCs, each contributing to the narrative that the player experiences, through cleansing the shrine. Developed over a span of three months at Ritsumeikan University’s Biwako-Kusatsu Campus in Shiga, Japan, Inari brings a fun experience in an immersive world.
