The Long Road to Edo
A game inspired by Japanese folklore where a traveler must keep an ear out for warnings from spirits such as Okuri-Inus and chi chis that are said to haunt mountain passages, while ignoring any signs of weariness or stumbling on the way. The road is long with no end in sight until reaching Edo; however there may be dangers along this path including encounters with these spooky creatures known only by their sounds like "chi-chii!" The game requires a lot of patience and determination to reach your destination, but if you manage it well enough the reward at last is going back through time. - 10 sentences or less
