The game is developed by the Turkish indie studio Error Thing, formed by three creators. The protagonist, Aaron, wakes up in a psychiatric hospital in the totalitarian state of Indriya with no memory except his name. A girl named Bell seems to know him, but he does not recognize her. Player choices affect both the story and Aaron's identity. The Steam store page warns the game is 'not player-friendly.' A demo covering the first chapter is available now on Steam. PARCO GAMES is also showing the demo at its booth at BitSummit PUNCH in Kyoto from May 22 to May 24. Visitors who play the demo receive an original mask, and those who wishlist the game on Steam get an original eco-bag. The full release is planned for 2026.","why_it_matters":"PARCO GAMES, a label known for fashion and art, is expanding into publishing a Turkish indie horror that explicitly warns it is not designed to be kind to players, signaling a willingness to take risks on niche, artist-driven projects.","published_at":"2026-05-22T03:16:00.000Z","source_count":4,"sources":["4Gamer.net","GAME Watch (Impress)","Game Spark","GameBusiness.jp"],"citations":[{"source":"4Gamer.net","title":"2D Psychedelic Horror 'DEPERSON' to Be Published by PARCO GAMES; Playable Demo at BitSummit PUNCH","url":"https://www.4gamer.net/games/008/G100847/20260520030/"},{"source":"GAME Watch (Impress)","title":"PARCO GAMES to Showcase Playable Demos of New Psychedelic Horror 'DEPERSON' at BitSummit 2026","url":"https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/2111013.html"},{"source":"Game Spark","title":"The Stage is a Totalitarian State, Reality Distorted...
