GARAKEI | ガラケー

Game overview

GARAKEI is a first-person walking game set in a mirrored version of Shibuya, Tokyo. The player navigates a city that is a copy of itself, where the crossing repeats and the last train never arrives. You control a character equipped with an old Japanese flip phone, known as a garakei. This phone can record video and rewind time, creating a unique mechanic for gameplay.

Objective and gameplay

The objective in the game is to walk through the looped city, paying attention to the environment. You must observe your surroundings closely and look for oddities, such as a vending machine that has changed color, the same face appearing twice, or signs that convey different messages. If you identify something unusual, you need to delete the corresponding video recording. Conversely, if nothing is wrong, you keep the video.
