Horror SENSE ~Daruma-san ga Koronda~

Horror SENSE ~Daruma-san ga Koronda~ (ホラーSENSE ～だるまさんがころんだ～) is a horror-adventure originally made for the Sparkling Blue VR SENSE. The game was added to the PlayStation VR library on 2019.

Plot
Urban legends speak of a female teacher who murdered two schoolchildren playing the eponymous Japanese game after losing her own child from an accident. Overcome with grief and insanity, she then took her own life. The elementary school closed down afterwards and has been in a state of disrepair for decades.

Decades later, a strange video recording was released on the internet depicting a normal couple trying to brave through the abandoned school building only to eerily disappear afterwards. Five graduate students (including the player) decided to investigate out of curiosity only to find themselves trapped by an unseen force.

Gameplay
The objective of the game is to find torn notes that will reveal the truth behind the focal specter of their story for the best ending. If the player encounters the specter of their chosen narrative, they may be given a timed-sequence to play Daruma-san ga Koronda; if they move when the specter is looking, they will be pushed back; moving too slow results in an instant game over.

The game has two difficulty settings, with a third one added exclusively for the PlayStation 4 port.


 * First Play (Girl Mode) - Offers the least amount of difficulty. Recommended for beginners.
 * Continuous Play (Boy Mode) - Unlocked by clearing the first mode, it provides a more brisk horror experience. Has two different endings.
 * Repetitive Play (Lunatic Mode) - Unlocked by clearing the second mode, this setting has more frightening challenges and rules for seasoned players.
