The label's first two titles are horror games for PC via Steam. The first, Tarou-kun Haite Kimashita, is a meta-horror game developed by BeforeHomeWorks. It is set on an underground video site where only cursed videos are posted. Players investigate videos left by a missing streamer named Tarou. The game is scheduled for release in summer 2026.
