2025年7月31日發行的《物怪之契》(勿ノ怪契リ)，由Idea Factory製作與發行。主角為現代陰陽師—渕田結茉，她是陰陽術士安倍晴明的後裔。千百年過去，晴明曾封印的強大妖怪「化貓」終於重現人世，帶來災禍與混亂。為阻止這股黑暗力量的復甦，結茉必須依靠與妖怪締結契約，以其力量作為盾與劍，踏上抗爭命運的旅程。遊戲將妖怪、陰陽師與青春戀情融合，構築出一場超越人類與妖怪界線的奇幻愛戀故事。

劇情以日常與奇幻交錯的方式展開。主角與幾位個性深刻的妖怪締結契約，他們不僅在妖怪世界「深月鏡」中互動，也與人類社會交織出複雜糾葛。狼妖領袖雅玖秉持平等理念，狸妖煌仁狡猾聰明，佐吉如烏天狗兄長般可靠，而復甦的九尾狐千曉帶著古老氣息。而青梅竹馬、同樣身為陰陽師的蘆屋總佑既是伙伴也是保護者。這些角色之間的情感牽引，讓結茉在尋找自身力量的同時，也一步步走向心靈的歸屬與深刻的羈絆   。

操作上遊戲主體屬於戀愛冒險類型，透過對話選項決定人物好感度進展，選擇正確選項可提升與攻略角色的情感關係，進而影響最終結局。共通劇情結束後，現在可自由選擇進入不同角色支線路線進行深化，每條故事皆有獨特事件與視角展開。當好感度提升至一定程度時，畫面會出現「愛‑catch」提示，象徵角色間感情的突破與互動強度提升，用戶亦可自由切換是否啟用此功能   。

遊戲中也包含簡易的動作性互動環節——當故事推進至特定情節時會觸發小型「戰鬥」迷你遊戲。需在畫面提示中於適當時機按下對應按鍵（例如A、B、X、Y按鈕），若配合準確，可產生特殊事件或好感度變化。此類機制雖不繁複，卻能有效打斷文字輸入的連續性，使劇情更具節奏感   。

整體而言，《物怪之契》是融合妖怪傳說、現代和風奇幻與戀愛劇情的女性向冒險遊戲。在設定上濃厚地延續日本古典神話與安倍晴明遺風，也透過締契、選擇與互動，讓玩家在情感與命運之間做出選擇。橫跨妖怪與人類的邊界，不只是戰鬥或冒險，更是一場關於選擇、理解與羈絆的旅程。

“Mononoke no Chigiri” (Japanese title: 勿ノ怪契リ), released on July 31, 2025, is a romance adventure game developed and published by Idea Factory. The protagonist is Yuma Fuchida, a modern-day onmyoji (Japanese occult practitioner), and a descendant of the legendary Abe no Seimei. After centuries of slumber, the powerful bakeneko (supernatural cat monster) that Seimei once sealed has reawakened, bringing disaster and chaos to the world. To stop the resurgence of this dark force, Yuma must forge contracts with yokai, using their powers as both shield and sword, embarking on a fateful journey of resistance.

The game blends elements of yokai folklore, onmyoji mysticism, and youthful romance, crafting a fantastical love story that transcends the boundary between humans and spirits.

The narrative unfolds through a mix of everyday life and fantasy. Yuma forms contracts with several distinct yokai, each with unique personalities and emotional depth. These relationships develop not only within the yokai realm known as “Shingetsukagami” (Deep Moon Mirror) but also extend into the human world, leading to complex interactions. Characters include:

 • Aku, the noble wolf yokai leader who upholds ideals of equality.

 • Koujin, a cunning and intelligent tanuki spirit.

 • Sakichi, a reliable figure with the aura of a protective elder tengu.

 • Chiaki, a revived nine-tailed fox radiating ancient mystique.

 • Soyo Ashiya, Yuma’s childhood friend and fellow onmyoji, who serves as both partner and guardian.

As emotional ties deepen, Yuma not only discovers her own strength but also begins to find belonging and forge powerful bonds with those around her.

“Mononoke no Chigiri” is primarily a romantic visual novel. Players progress through dialogue choices that affect the affection levels of the characters. Making the right decisions strengthens relationships and influences the game’s multiple endings.

After completing the common route, players can freely choose individual character routes, each offering unique events and perspectives. When affection reaches a certain level, an “Ai-Catch” (Love-Catch) prompt appears, indicating a breakthrough in the relationship and increased emotional intensity. This feature can be toggled on or off based on player preference.

The game also includes simple interactive elements—during key story moments, mini “battle” events occur. Players must press the correct button (e.g., A, B, X, Y) at the right time based on on-screen prompts. Accurate input may trigger special scenes or affect affection levels. While not overly complex, these segments add rhythm and interactivity to the story-heavy progression.

“Mononoke no Chigiri” is a female-oriented fantasy romance adventure that blends Japanese yokai legends, modern mysticism, and emotional storytelling. It draws heavily from traditional Japanese mythology and the legacy of Abe no Seimei, while giving players the ability to shape fate through contracts, choices, and personal connections.

Crossing the boundaries between yokai and humans, this is more than just a story of battles or destiny—it’s a heartfelt journey of choice, understanding, and emotional bonds.
