In the game there are few mechanics. The player walks forward with one button, and backwards with another. Tapping the buttons allows the player to briefly run. The Wii Remote is used as a flashlight and to make calls/pick up calls from your "cell phone", and the Wii Balance Board is used for certain elements in the game, such as movement. The player is killed if they are touched by a ghost, and have no way of fighting back- instead, the player attempts to avoid being touched. Ghost roam around in close or sparse patterns, and sometimes chase the player in short sequences. The player must carefully time their movements to sneak past the ghosts. The game consists of twenty-three ten-minute segments. After completing the game once, a more difficult mode is unlocked titled "Curse" mode, with challenges to make the game harder. A bonus chapter is unlocked after completing the hard mode.

A group of college students have decided to take a trip to a place called the Tsukuyomi Ravine, where people used to sacrifice to the gods. There are five main characters in this game, which the game encourages the player to rename with the names of their friends: Black, Blue, Yellow, Pink and Red. Black invites the group to the ravine, and his father owns the mansion in which they then stay. Red, the hot-tempered leader of the group, incites the group to come and "test [their] courage" with him. Blue is shown to be kind, and to have a strong sense of justice. Yellow, while also kind, is more courteous and proper; she is further presented as pure of heart, and from a decidedly good upbringing. Yellow comes to befriend a mysterious young girl during her trip. Pink is rather vocal about her beliefs and opinions, much to the others' chagrin. The epilogue contains an additional character called "You." The player controls each of these six characters in turn, as they explore the mansion.

Marvelous Entertainment announced the game in late 2010, slated for a release on March 24, 2011. It was also announced that a limited-time purchase would be included, namely an amulet that was based on the game. While Square Enix was not officially affiliated with development of the game, some members from the company such as Takashi Tokita and Tomoya Asano were brought in to help with development.

According to Famitsu Magazine, the game sold 5,359 units as of 2012.
