<Story
The setting is a modern-day racetrack where people have forgotten about yokai. The main character comes to the track to enjoy horse racing. Suddenly, the racetrack is enveloped in a black fog, and screams echo through the air. This is no longer the usual racetrack. As he continues onward....

■Gegege's Great Race
In this racing game, a spherical eyeball becomes a racehorse and aims for first place.
Tilt your phone to control the rolling Medama Oyaji as he rolls to the finish line faster than the opposing Yokai Kijimuna (in the PC version, you can control him with the cursor keys).
Various power-up items appear on the racetrack. Carrots increase speed, and eye drops prevent the screen from getting blurry. The well-known Kitaro family members, such as Kitaro and Nezumi Otoko, cheer the races enthusiastically, but due to their difference in size, they obstruct the way of the eyeball father, so be sure to dodge them and aim for the goal.
In addition, if you follow the official Twitter account (@Umabi_Official) and tweet the results of playing "GeGeGe's Great Race," you will be entered into a drawing to win a present.


■Ore no Meidama Maker
This is a "My Medama Maker" generator that allows users to customize their own original "My Medama Oyaji". You can choose the color of the color contacts of "Oyaji's eyeballs" from a color palette. In addition, you can also customize 24 accessories, including a jockey hat and sunglasses, as well as 32 costumes, including the jockey's winning uniform, Kitaro family outfits, and horse owners. You can also choose from a variety of backgrounds with racetrack characteristics, and finally, you can give them names to complete the game.
You can also share your "my eyeball" icon on SNS and save the image.
