Story Breakdown: Musya - The Classic Japanese Tale of Horror (SNES)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

Instead of watching yet another terrible Halloween sequel, I've spent this month immersed in some of the best Japanese horror films of the 1960s. I'm talking about cinematic masterpieces, like Onibaba, Kwaidan and the great Kuroneko, all of which I would describe as classic Japanese tales of horror. You know what else could be described that way? Musya! I mean, it's right there in the title -- Musya: The Classic Japanese Tale of Horror. With a name like that, I had to see if this 1992 action game on the Super NES was as scary as it sounded. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and ending for Musya: The Classic Japanese Tale of Horror. This is Game Over: The Early Years!
