Chiisana Obake - Acchi Socchi Kocchi (Japan)

Chiisana Obake - Acchi Socchi Kocchi is a unique adventure/platformer game released on the NES console, based on the popular anime series of the same name. The game immerses players in the colorful world of three adorable little ghosts: Acchi, Kocchi, and Socchi, as they embark on exciting adventures together.

The gameplay of Chiisana Obake - Acchi Socchi Kocchi focuses more on exploration and puzzle-solving than combat. Players will often control Acchi, the red ghost, but can also interact with or switch between other characters in certain situations. The game environment is designed in a non-linear fashion, allowing players to freely explore various areas such as old houses, mysterious forests, bustling towns, or even schools. Each area holds its own secrets and quests.

The main objective of the game is to search for necessary items, talk to non-player characters (NPCs) to gather information, and solve simple environmental puzzles. Puzzles typically involve using the correct item in the right place or interacting with NPCs in a specific sequence. Additionally, the game features light platforming elements, requiring players to jump over obstacles or move skillfully to reach new areas. However, there's no complex combat system; instead, dexterity and problem-solving abilities are key to progression. The game's graphics are charming and cartoon-like, staying true to the anime's original style, creating a gentle and engaging experience for players.
