## What is Ryokan Journey?

Ryokan Journey is a series of escape games set in traditional Japanese inns (ryokan).
Four inns are included now.

Episode 1: Winter Ryokan
An old farmhouse inn deep in snow country.
You wake on a snowy night to find every door shut.
Search the hearth room and the storeroom behind the wooden door, solve nine contraptions, and step out into the snowlit garden.

Episode 2: Autumn Ryokan
A hot-spring inn in the autumn mountains.
You can see the open-air bath beyond the room, but the glass door to the garden has an unfamiliar lock.
Collect three tags, open the lock, and head for the bath.

Episode 3: Sakura Ryokan (additional inn, in-app purchase)
A spring night in a detached cottage of an inn in the hills of Kyoto.
Outside the paper screens, a weeping cherry glows white in the moonlight.
Solve the puzzles hidden in a folding screen, sweet dumplings and a tea-serving karakuri doll, light the lantern, and go out into the night sakura garden.

Episode 4: Firefly Ryokan (additional inn, in-app purchase)
A summer night at a riverside inn in the mountains.
Wind chimes ring softly outside the paper screens.
Search the river room, the earthen-floor kitchen and the courtyard, solve ten contraptions, and step out onto the riverside deck where fireflies dance.

HOW TO PLAY
- Choose an inn on the first screen
- Tap anything that catches your eye to examine it
- Use the left and right arrows to turn, and the down arrow to go back
- Select an item you found, then tap where you want to use it
- Stuck? Tap the light bulb for three levels of hints (the last one is the answer)
- Your progress is saved automatically for each inn

FEATURES
- Beautiful 3D scenes of a farmhouse hearth room and snowy garden, a hot-spring inn and its maple garden, a spring cottage and its night sakura garden, and a riverside inn with fireflies, redrawn every time something changes
- Over 110 moves of Japanese contraptions across four inns: a rotary phone dial, a karakuri picture frame, a ring of symbols on a chest, icicle locks, a frozen padlock, kokeshi dolls, a secret puzzle box, a pendulum clock, mirror writing, shell matching, a tea-serving doll, wind-chime strips, a bamboo gutter, a well bolt, a firefly cage that glows in the dark, and more
- Puzzles that don't depend on language
- Bonus: collect ten camellias, maple leaves, cherry blossoms and fireflies in each inn
- Available in English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) and Korean
- For iPhone and iPad

ABOUT HINTS
The first and second hints are always available.
The third hint, the answer, can be seen by watching a short video or by purchasing the Answer Key.
The Answer Key unlocks the answers for every inn with a single purchase.

No horror. Take your time, as if you were relaxing at an inn.

### 3/5 — なるほどですね

*2026-10-19*

10個集めが独立しているのが謎、あえてなのかわからないが全編クリアで判明するのなら案内があっても良さそうだ（見落とした？）

美麗で理不尽もなくゲーム性としては優良作ではあるが、内容は坦々と凡庸な短編なので次章に期待が持てない
そのわりに強気な価格、160でさえ比較にならないほど骨太な長編謎解きをいくつか購入したので遜色は否めず無料版で十分満足です

公開ありがとうございました

### 5/5 — 普通に楽しい

*2026-10-19*

結構時間かかりましたがクリアしました。3話目から課金ですがストーリーが面白いので新作にも期待します

**Developer response:** 遊んでいただき、ありがとうございます。
最後までクリアしていただけて、とてもうれしいです。
新しい第四話「蛍の宿」を追加しました。夏の夜、川沿いの宿が舞台です。
ご要望や不具合は、遊ぶ画面の左上のメニューから遠慮なくお送りください。

### 4/5 — 楽しかったです

*2026-10-12*

全部無料で出来ないのは非常に残念。すごく楽しかったです。

**Developer response:** 遊んでいただき、ありがとうございます。
第三話「夜桜の宿」は、10月12日から160円に値下げしました。
第一話と第二話は、これまでどおり無料で遊べます。
ご要望や不具合は、遊ぶ画面の左上のメニューから遠慮なくお送りください。

### 3/5 — もみじ🍁

*2026-10-09*

文字が書いてある所にあるのが見えてるのに取れないです。

**Developer response:** 遊んでいただきありがとうございます。分かりにくい所があり、申し訳ありません。集められる紅葉は、畳や棚に落ちている赤い葉の10枚です（絵や表紙に描かれた紅葉は飾りです）。先へ進めないときは、画面右上の電球のボタンで、次にすることを順にご案内しています。分かりにくかった所は、次の版で直します。
