Description:
   Among the ruins of the city, there is a game only children can play. It is called “Otokoyo”; a game of hide-and-seek. But whenever children play this game, one by one they would disappear into the blinds of the buildings… The story begins when a boy enters the world of Otokoyo, to find his missing sister. — ANN

   There is a street where no one lives, where ghostly lights flicker in the shadows. It is whispered that children who play hide-and-seek there after dark are kidnapped by demons…and disappear forever. Tonight, a boy named Hikora joins the game in search of his missing sister. Eight children gather. The street lamps flare though no one is there to light them. The game... and the terror... are about to begin! — AniDB

   Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek (カクレンボ, meaning Hide and Seek in Japanese, is a chilling short 25 minute animated CGI film that is based around an innocent children's game. "Otokoyo", as they call it, is a game of hide and seek, played near the ruins of an old city which no one inhabits. Whenever the children play this game, one by one, they go missing, and it is said demons and ghosts are the cause for their disappearances. One night, a boy named Hikora must play this game and enter the forbidden territory of "Otokoyo" in hopes of finding his missing sister.
   Of note is that this movie uses CGI animation and cel-shading to achieve the look of a traditional animated movie. The result is a movie which bears the appearance of traditional animation, but is as smoothly animated as most CGI movies. — Wikipedia
