Hyaku Monogatari, also known as "One Hundred Stories," is a traditional Japanese game where participants gather in a dark room and take turns telling ghost stories. After each story is told, a candle is extinguished, gradually plunging the room into darkness. The game's origins date back to the Edo period and were believed to summon spirits or ghosts. The eerie atmosphere created by Hyaku Monogatari has been used for centuries as a way to test one's courage and storytelling abilities. It was thought that by listening to these tales of horror, one could ward off evil spirits and bring good luck. Today, Hyaku Monogatari remains popular during summer nights in Japan as a way to cool down while getting chills from spooky stories and has inspired various adaptations in literature, film, and even video games. So next time you find yourself gathered with friends on a dark night, consider playing Hyaku Monogatari for an unforgettable experience filled with thrills and chills.
