Step into the paws of Hachikō, a loyal dog whose spirit dwells in the afterlife after passing on. From the quiet beauty of the spirit realm, you sense the lonliness of the human you loved in life, and so begins a journey surpassing a lifetime.

In this heartfelt exploration-platformer, journey through a serene afterlife filled with animal spirits, forgotten paths, and obstacles that seem impossible to overcome. But by opening your heart to other spirits and earning their trust, they may lend you their abilities and help you climb higher toward your ultimate goal:

reuniting with the human you love once again.

Inspired by games like A Short Hike and Journey, Hachikō is a calm, emotional experience about connection that transcends life itself.

There is no violence in the spirit realm, and the only true failure is giving up. Enjoy otherworldy beauty, relaxing puzzles, and the satisfaction of bringing comfort to others along the way.

Use abilities borrowed from friendly spirits to overcome obstacles. Dash like a cat, leap like a deer, and even flutter like a chicken to rise higher and travel farther.
