Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 20 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
“That choice will change both your fate and the girl’s.”
—On a shrine path swirling with strange disturbances, every step you take with the girl is put to the test—
Yaei Shrine is a Japanese-style light horror adventure in which the player guides a girl dressed as a shrine maiden toward a mountain shrine plagued by unsettling phenomena.
Eerie sounds, sudden presences, and things that should never appear…
As you walk alongside the girl, a boundary between the real world and the otherworld unfolds before you.
Your decisions will determine the girl’s fate.
Guide the shrine maiden girl, who can no longer reach the shrine at the summit due to a sinister aura, safely to the shrine.
If you notice an anomaly, take the left path.
If nothing seems out of place, proceed along the right path and continue escorting her toward the shrine at the summit.
This game is an “Exit 8–like” title inspired by games such as The Exit 8.
There are two difficulty levels: Normal and Hard.
(We recommend starting with Normal. Even Normal may feel challenging.)
Estimated playtime is 15 to 90 minutes.
(If you clear it quickly, we recommend playing again—you may notice different anomalies or get a different feel.)
Regardless of difficulty, clearing the game unlocks special elements.
(Carve your name among the top ranks with the unlocked content!)
There are very few horror elements, so even players who dislike horror should be able to enjoy the game comfortably.
Relax, enjoy chatting with the girl, and keep an eye out for anomalies.
However, be careful—repeating conversations too persistently might make her dislike you.

[h1]COMMUNITY ADVISORY & CONTENT WARNING: YAEIJINJA[/h1] [h2]UNDISCLOSED GRAPHIC CONTENT[/h2] Despite storefront claims of [i]"very few horror elements"[/i] for a comfortable experience, this sacred [b]Sando[/b] (shrine approach) features an [b]unannounced, graphic visual depiction of self-harm[/b] in the [b]Chinju no Mori[/b] (sacred shrine forest). There are [i]zero content warnings, mature tags, or toggles[/i] on the storefront to protect your spirit from sudden [b]Kegare[/b] (spiritual impurity). [h2]JARRING GAMEPLAY SHIFT[/h2] The peaceful, atmospheric walking loop is abruptly derailed by a rigid [b]Daruma doll timing trial[/b] that resets your entire progress on a single mistake, completely shattering the [b]Chōwa[/b] (harmony) of your [b]Shinjaku[/b] (tranquil mind). [h2]TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE[/h2] Suffers from severe frame drops, lighting hitches, and a complete lack of graphics settings to adjust performance—an absolute offense to the [b]Kami[/b] (revered spirits). [b][h3]Steer clear if you are sensitive to heavy graphic visuals or expect a genuinely tranquil exploration game.[/h3][/b] [hr] [h2]PERSONAL VERDICT ⛩️[/h2] I really wanted to love this game—and almost did—but that one anomaly ruined it. For personal reasons, I refuse to ever play it again, and my opinion on that isn't up for debate. ⛩️ [hr] [h1]QUICK SUMMARY: THE TRADE OFFER ⛩️📜[/h1] [h3]TRADE OFFER ⛩️📿[/h3] [b]I RECEIVE:[/b] Your hard-earned money ⛩️ Your hopes for a tranquil [b]Saimokushō[/b] (shrine pilgrimage ⛩️🎍) through lush mountain groves 🌿 Your innocent belief that a cozy game storefront tag actually means what it says 📜⛩️ [b]YOU RECEIVE:[/b] Dual [b]Torii[/b] gates ⛩️⛩️ and a sweet [b]Shikigami[/b] (spirit companion 📿) who teleports directly behind you Zero graphics settings to purify the stuttering 🏮 Choppy frame rates that will test your hardware's will to live ⛩️ A sudden, rigid Daruma doll trial to destroy your inner [b]Chōwa[/b] (harmony ☯️) One completely unannounced, un-skippable graphic shock scene that brings instant [b]Kegare[/b] (spiritual impurity 🖤⛩️) to haunt your soul A complete failure to offer [b]Misogi[/b] (spiritual purification 🌊⛩️) or a simple content toggle for players seeking a peaceful walk 🌿 [b]It had the bones of an 10/10 cozy anomaly-spotter genuinely, but the unannounced visual betrayal and total lack of performance options make it a complete buyer's remorse, a generational curse upon thyself and thy descendants, and a 0/10. Save your money and spare your hardware. ⛩️🏮📿[/b]
