Feudal Japan is a very colorful setting for a lot of games including Sekiro and the highly anticipated Ghost of Tsushima. Now independent game studio Endflame is bringing the horror genre to Feudal Japan with Ikai.
Check out the first trailer:
Here’s the official description:
Ikai is a first-person psychological horror game set in a feudal Japan steeped in poverty. The story revolves around the spirits of the past and the present of Naoko, the priestess of a shrine.
She woke up within the unholy walls of the formerly sacred place, almost dead, almost alive. Countless yokais were wandering around, too close to humans, too close to Gods. The thin limit between the world and the underworld had broken.
While we only get to see one monster in the game, it looks like we should expect even more yokai to make an appearance in Ikai. Japanese folklore is very rich in all different kinds of superstitious beings, and there’s a lot to choose from when it comes to this game.
The main setting is a medieval shrine in which players will have to go through different types of minigames to try and ward off evil; from writing down protective seals or twiddling with magical artifacts. There will also be stealth elements to the game as players will be prompted to ‘be silent, do not disturb the evil.’
Ikai is set for a release on Steam sometime in 2021.You can find more games in our updated list of Upcoming PC Games.
