About This Demo

You are Gabrielle, an archaeologist visiting Japan, when you receive a mysterious phone call. A man offers you the opportunity to assess Yokogawa Castle and determine whether it should be preserved or condemned. Before he even finishes speaking, you’ve already agreed. It has to happen today.

During your research, you learn hitobashira was practiced there - human sacrifices buried within the walls to protect the castle. Some rituals were never meant to end.

• Uncover the condition of Yokogawa Castle through assessment photographs.

• Perform rituals while something is hunting you.

• Recover artifacts from those that were buried.

• Experience a painful memory from Gabrielle's past, corrupted by the castle's spirits.

• Dynamic haunting ensures ghostly encounters are unpredictable.

• Switch between third and first-person views at any time.

The Assessment demo is a short-form psychological suspense experience focused on tension, exploration, and discovery. The demo includes the first three areas of the game: the Yokogawa Castle Exterior, Interior, and a Senior Home.
