The game splits five players into four children and one demon across three-minute matches. Kuchisake uses a forward charge called Dai Zutsuki that catches every child in its path, giving the demon side a choice between Kakure Oni and Kuchisake. The demo joins Steam Next Fest, which runs October 20 to October 27.","whyItMatters":"Adding a mobility-based demon to a demo that previously offered only Kakure Oni gives the four-child side two distinct escape problems to solve during Steam Next Fest, and the demo is the window FORCES has before any release decision.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eKuchisake does not hide.
