The release plan moved. The game was announced for 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and PC via Steam, then on September 17, 2026 Shueisha Games said it had slipped to 2027, with the release date to be set later. The extra time goes to motion capture work meant to let players read each soul through movement and facial expression during dialogue.

The premise is a girl who holds four souls that each claim her body, and players decide which one remains last. Yumiri Hanamori voices her, keeping one voice across the four personalities. A Tokyo Game Show 2026 demo runs from September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe, at the Shueisha Games booth in Hall 5, 05-C10.

The team presents the game without a fixed genre, aimed at unease rather than fear. A 2027 interview tied to the show lists general producer Taiichi Kawai, Historia director Shun Sasaki, planner and scenario writer Takuya Yamanaka, and Hanamori.
