The demo lets players experience the opening of the exploration action adventure, in which the protagonist editor is trapped inside manuscript paper, up to the point of meeting a vampire who is a writer. The demo covers exploration of a field where hand-drawn 2D stages overlap with a 3D-rendered Western mansion, and formidable bosses appear along the way. Clearing the demo's main story unlocks Extra: Boss Challenge Battle, which allows players to take on more challenging fights and also unlocks skills. The full game is scheduled for release in Fall 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Steam. The game is developed by DeskWorks, a small team focused on unique art styles and gameplay. Supported languages include Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, Italian, Spanish, and German.
