Kodansha :

TOKYO — October 23rd, 2024 — BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA, the third-person psychological horror adventure developed by IchimatsuSuzuka in Unreal Engine 5 and published by Kodansha Game Creators’ Lab, launches today on PC via Steam with a limited 20% off sale until Sunday, November 3rd.

Stumble upon gruesome secrets hidden within the forsaken town Mt. Utaga-Yama as college student Garasu Yuki. After an otherworldly creature attacks Chocolat, Yuki’s beloved dog, plunge into the frightening forested foothills in search of the precious pup. Avoid further altercations with the atrocious abominations and learn what truly lurks within Mt. Utaga-Yama.

After Yuki’s fearsome foray through the foothills, switch perspectives to another protagonist: a young boy carrying his teary-eyed sister to safety. Flee from a disemboweled, katana-wielding killer thirsting for wanton bloodshed. Dodge his attacks while navigating a maze of disorienting doorways, where one wrong turn can lead to a dead end.

To celebrate the upcoming launch, IchimatsuSuzuka also announces a 77% off sale for GOHOME and 夜詛YASO curse of soirée. This sale lasts until Sunday, November 3rd, along with special bundles that include all three games and soundtracks available for each of their creations.

“I’ve been working on the story of GUCHA GUCHA for more than ten years, and this is only the beginning of the series,” said IchimatsuSuzuka, the creator of the title. “Horror games are more than just jumpscares, and BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA adds a layer of unsettling fear into the player’s mind as they adventure through the story, get to know the characters, experience the haunting music, and make their way through a one-of-a-kind hellscape!”
