Atama is an action-adventure game from Team Zutsuu. Players control Kaede as she investigates her aunt's disappearance in a cursed Japanese village. The core gameplay loop involves using psychic powers to see through enemies' eyes for stealth and evasion, as direct combat is not possible. The game also features puzzle-solving and a narrative focused on uncovering the village's mystery.

Atama includes post-game content such as Hardcore Mode, which introduces permadeath, and a less challenging Story Mode. Developer Commentary is also included. The game's unique mechanic of viewing the world through enemy perspectives offers a distinct approach to stealth and horror gameplay.
