Karakurium is a puzzle adventure featuring 50 types of gimmicks, including “Karakuri Puppet” that starts running when activated and “Imitation Puppet” that mimics the player’s movements. Push, carry and activate many “karakuri”* objects to reach the goal. Control the protagonist, "Rena", who has awakened from a karakuri puppet and become a human, and explore the vast world of karakuri gimmicks with 500 handcrafted stages. The BGM has a Japanese flair, featuring Lo-Fi and gentle future bass.
