The Steam store page and a teaser trailer are live, with wishlist registrations open. The game is planned for 2027 on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. The price is undecided. Noroi Ayashi is an exploration horror RPG built around exploration, horror, and puzzle solving. The player controls Seira, who enters U High School at midnight with newspaper club members Tae and Hime to investigate an inexplicable death. The school holds the Seven Mysteries and a ritual that is said to summon the Curse-Killing Doll Aya. Performing the ritual pulls the group into a cycle of despair. Each mystery has its own avoidance method and sealing procedure. Survival on a first attempt is hopeless, and the design calls for learning from repeated deaths. Clover Lab. develops, and SuperNiche LLC holds the rights notice.","whyItMatters":"Niikawa had already disclosed the title and the genre name time loop horror RTA stealth action adventure in advance, so the announcement confirms a project that had been visible in fragments since early 2026.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eGame Source Entertainment is publishing, and Clover Lab. is developing.
