Itch.io has flagged the game for additional review (not sure why) and people are now facing issue while downloading the game. When they download, they see "This page has been Quarantined" warning message and they are afraid to download. I have reached out to itch.io support team to clear the review and waiting for the response. I am not sure how long it will take for the review to complete, but I guarantee that there is no malware or even advertisements in the game. The game is completely safe to download. Also, if you get "This page has been Quarantined" message, you can still download the game by clicking "I understand the risks, let me download anyway". Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

For better experience, play in FULLSCREEN and with HEADSETS.

Story:

In the town of Chanderi, there is a widespread belief in the spirit of an angry woman known as Stree. During a four-day religious festival each year, she is said to stalk the men of the town, whispering their names and causing disappearances if they look back at her. To protect themselves, residents write 'o stree kal aana' in blood on their doorways. Additionally, men are advised to avoid going out alone after 10 PM during the festival and to move in groups for safety.

Vicky, a ladies' tailor in Chanderi, encounters a mysterious girl during the annual pooja season and falls in love with her at first sight. She requests him to stitch a lehanga. However, her frequent disappearances and unusual shopping list—containing items like a lizard's tail, white cat's fur, Datura flowers, meat, and brandy—raise concerns for his friend Bittu, who suspects she might be Stree. This suspicion deepens after another friend, Janna, is kidnapped by Stree. Vicky also grows wary of the girl and confronts her, but she vanishes yet again.

Vicky, Bittu and Rudra Bhaiya, the town's librarian and a paranologist, seek a way to save their friend Janna. They discover a partially torn book titled Chanderi Puran in Rudra's library, which details Stree's story and mentions an old fort. Vicky recognizes the fort from a date with the Girl. The trio visits the fort, believed to be Stree's lair, to find Janna. Stree drives away Rudra and captures Bittu.
