Ghosts Cast No Shadow

In this cozy deduction game you keep a village gate at night in Joseon-era Korea, and some who knock are yogoe, monsters of Korean folktales in human guise. Raise a lantern, check the registry and ask questions, then let the humans in and seal the yogoe in a gourd with a talisman. Ten nights a run.
