The game follows a protagonist who takes a suspicious high-paying part-time job as an 'SNS monitor' to earn 1 million yen for his mother's surgery within seven days. Players patrol a social media timeline, reviewing uploaded images and deciding whether to approve normal ones or delete cursed, forbidden images. The job takes a toll on the protagonist's mental health, so players must manage stress by taking breaks, playing games, or purchasing stress relief items. Getting caught slacking off by the boss lowers the evaluation and risks termination. The game also features a 'Survey Function' that lets players toggle off specific horror elements like jump scares, insects, or phobias before starting. The demo covers the first day of work and takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. The full version is scheduled for release in October 2026 at a price of 600 yen, and supports Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.","whyItMatters":"The pitch pairs a stress-management mechanic with a social media monitoring premise, and the survey function is an unusual accessibility feature that lets players customise which horror triggers appear.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe demo for \u0026#39;SNS Kanshibito\u0026#39; was published on July 13, 2026, by the two-person indie outfit READY!-one of whom loves horror, the other hates it. The game is their debut title. In the demo, players experience the first day of a seven-day deadline to raise 1 million yen for a mother\u0026#39;s surgery by working as an SNS monitor. The core loop is point-and-click: images scroll down a timeline, and the player must approve or delete them. Mistakes reduce pay, and repeated failures can lead to firing. Stress builds up as the protagonist stares at cursed images, so the player can sneak in games or buy items to decompress, but the boss patrols and will dock pay if slacking is caught. The survey function at the start allows players to disable presentations for jump scares, insects, thalassophobia, trypophobia, and acrophobia, making the game accessible to those who dislike specific horror genres. The full release is planned for October 2026 at 600 yen, with support for Japanese, English, and Chinese (simplified and traditional) and Korean. The Steam page is open for wishlisting.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The SNS Kanshibito demo lets you disable jump scares, insects, and specific phobias before you even start playing-a rare accessibility feature in horror games.","twitterPost":"You have 7 days to earn 1 million yen deleting cursed images on social media, but if your boss catches you playing games on break you get fired.
