Players act as agents of the Department of Metaphysical Investigations, firing bullets from their fingertips like pistols and shotguns. Special hand shapes cast spells: a heart that keeps enemies away, a camera pose that freezes them, and a fox that summons a giant hand. No release date is set.","whyItMatters":"The project treats hand gestures as the weapon system itself, with finger-gun attacks and finger-shape spells sharing one input language, and its Steam page and X account have carried the rollout while a release date stays undecided.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe store page and the official X account are doing the explaining. Bullets come out of fingertips, with pistol and shotgun behavior among the firing modes. Spells are cast by forming hand shapes: a heart that holds enemies off, a camera-like pose that freezes them, and a fox that attacks enemies inside a circle with a giant hand. Clearing waves opens a store, and the lobby lets players swap which spells they carry.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"PSYCHOFINGER's spell casts are hand shapes: a heart, a camera pose, a fox. That drops the genre's ammo economy into gesture recognition, where the gun is the hand and the input is the pose.","twitterPost":"PSYCHOFINGER's spells are hand shapes. The gesture is the input, so the hand doubles as gun and spellbook.","threadsPost":"PSYCHOFINGER fires bullets from fingertips and casts spells by making shapes: a heart to repel, a camera pose to freeze, a fox to summon a giant hand. The design folds shooting and casting onto one limb, which means the interesting problem is telling a bullet from a spell before the pose resolves.","newsletterBlurb":"Monkey Business Studio and publisher Digital Bandidos are developing PSYCHOFINGER, a single-player roguelike FPS for PC via Steam with no release date set. Combat runs on fingers: fingertip bullets behave like pistols and shotguns, while hand shapes cast spells such as a heart that keeps enemies away and a camera pose that freezes them. Waves end at a store, and the lobby is where spells get swapped.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"Denfaminicogamer\",\"url\":\"https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/news/260923c\",\"title\":\"\\\"Your fingers become weapons\\\" - high-tempo roguelike FPS 'PSYCHOFINGER' in development; fire bullets like a pistol or shotgun, make hearts and foxes to cast spells\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":4395,"outputTokens":597,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1791130469,"createdAt":"2026-10-04T16:11:08.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-10-04T16:13:23.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-04T16:13:23.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_d41f1a95175f40992215bd89","canonicalTitle":"「指が武器になる」ハイテンポなローグライクFPS『PSYCHOFINGER』が開発中。ピストルやショットガンのように弾を撃ち、ハートや狐を作って呪文を放つ","representativeArticleId":"a_dee699f4086af90def834411","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[\"PSYCHOFINGER\"],\"studios\":[],\"people\":[],\"type\":\"news\",\"domain\":\"games\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-23T03:07:35.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-09-23T03:07:35.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-04T16:13:20.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"Denfaminicogamer","url":"https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/news/260923c","title":"「指が武器になる」ハイテンポなローグライクFPS『PSYCHOFINGER』が開発中。ピストルやショットガンのように弾を撃ち、ハートや狐を作って呪文を放つ"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":["PSYCHOFINGER"],"studios":[],"people":[],"type":"news","domain":"games","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":null}
