A Ruined Near-Future Tokyo, a Public Safety Agent and an Army of Monsters From Japanese Folklore
DDDistortion’s low-poly monster hunter has found a publishing partner. Shueisha Games is stepping in to bring the indie studio’s third-person action horror shooter to PC through Steam, Gematsu passed along the announcement on Tuesday, along with a fresh teaser and a new key visual. There’s still no word on when it will actually launch.
The setting is Tokyo in 2036, a city left in ruins and crawling with Yokai, the supernatural creatures of Japanese legend. Players step into the shoes of Misha, a top-ranked Public Safety Operator whose probe into a terrorist attack pulls her into something far uglier, involving conspiracy, human sacrifice and betrayal. Combat pairs gunplay with weapon-switching command inputs borrowed from fighting games, so surviving each encounter is as much about execution as aim.
The new teaser also confirms that veteran voice actress Miyuki Sawashiro is playing Misha, and the accompanying illustration by artist Katsu Somehira shows the operator squaring off against the threats waiting for her. The project has been making the festival rounds for a while, with earlier showings at Tokyo Game Show 2024 and BitSummit, so having a publisher attached is a solid sign it’s moving closer to release.
