The 3D action adventure is developed by Rias, who works as an illustrator and 3D graphic designer. Players control a fox girl who, with a frog companion, explores Adashino Island, a place of torii gates and neon signs where beings called Kotoro Oni lurk in the darkness. A stolen shrine drives the pair to the island, where they search for a way to return it and get home while pursued by oni. Gameplay splits into exploration, where players talk to residents and light shrines to widen the explorable area, and a tag section where they flee oni, using limited light to stop them. A demo was shown at Tokyo Game Show 2026.","whyItMatters":"The Steam store page for the separately planned PC version was updated to list 2027 on the same day as the Nintendo announcement, so the console date and the PC window now sit on the same calendar.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame Spark describes the island\u0026#39;s look as \u0026#34;Showa-retro room to a neon-lit, bewitching island,\u0026#34; and says extra scenes shown at Tokyo Game Show 2026 revealed a more refined Japanese worldview than earlier footage.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDenfaminicogamer notes the island\u0026#39;s oni include \u0026#34;those who have been consumed by desire and transformed into oni,\u0026#34; plus an \u0026#34;otherworldly monster that calls itself the island\u0026#39;s master.\u0026#34;\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight is a limited resource in the tag sections.
