How It Begins

You’re a lone ninja whose mission is to steal a rare golden idol from a rival Shinto shrine. You must do this while being pursued by an evil ninja, who seeks to capture you and prevent you from succeeding in your mission.

Notable Features

Trivia and Comments

• The only obvious difference between the 2004 and 2005 versions is the addition of a small puzzle involving a dragon.
• This is the only game ever to be entered twice in The Annual IF Competition. Although this breaks the rule about entering a previously-released game, it seems that nobody much cared, possibly because it placed last in both the years it was entered.
