This Trial version has undergone a major overhaul to make the mind games and strategic gameplay between players even more engaging.
Whether you’ve played KAKUREONI during our previous CBTs or this is your first time picking it up, we hope you’ll enjoy a fresh new experience.
To make the game’s central theme of hide-and-seek even more exciting, we’ve added a brand-new system called “Kage Kakushi (Shadow Veli).”
Will you stay hidden in the shadows, or take the risk and move?
Every split-second decision can change the outcome of the game, creating tense mind games between players.
The Oni’s new tracking ability, “Oni’s Eye,” allows them to see through obstacles and dispel Kage Kakushi.
The Oni can also destroy obstacles, making them more powerful than ever and giving players an even stronger taste of what it’s like to face an unstoppable Oni.
As time passes, the ghosts become increasingly dangerous.
Early in the game, it’s a pure game of hide-and-seek.
As the clock ticks down, it gradually turns into a desperate game of tag.
Experience how the gameplay—and the fear—changes as the match progresses.
We’ve revamped the opening sequence and title screen for the full game experience.
We’ve also improved the in-game UI and tutorial, making it easier for first-time players to understand the world, rules, and how to play.
Our game development VTuber unit Pixelade! has released a new video introducing the latest version of KAKUREONI.
If you’re wondering, “So, what kind of game is KAKUREONI, anyway?”, be sure to check it out!
KAKUREONI will continue to evolve as we work toward the release of the Demo.
We’ll keep sharing development updates and new information through videos, Steam News, X, Note, and more, so be sure to follow along!
And if KAKUREONI has caught your interest, we’d really appreciate your support by adding the game to your Steam Wishlist and joining the conversation in our Community Hub!
