Rain98 Major Update Demo to Debut at Tokyo Game Show 2026
The demo gives Japanese players their first hands-on with a build that has grown from a 3-person project into a 20-to-25 person one with over 10 hours of playtime, after the title slipped from its original schedule.

Shibuya studio C#4R4CT3R will bring a "MAJOR UPDATE DEMO" of Rain98 to Tokyo Game Show 2026, playable ahead of the trial version targeted for release within 2026. The demo runs September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, public days from the 19th, at booth Hall 4 C08. Three limited goods appear at the venue.
The build shown at Makuhari Messe is playable ahead of the trial version the studio still aims to ship within 2026. Steam wishlist registrations for the psycho-suspense adventure have passed 80,000. Development members are scheduled to staff the booth, and a concept image of it has been released.
