Daiyon Kyokai

Daiyonkyokai has released 'Their Beginning,' a free everyday erosion game set in the editorial department of LaLa magazine, and is developing the collaboration ARG 'Paranormasight FILE444: Awai no Shinrei Camera' with Square Enix.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 7

Daiyonkyokai works on projects that place its games inside existing media and publisher structures. In September it announced 'Paranormasight FILE444: Awai no Shinrei Camera,' a collaboration ARG tied to Square Enix's Paranormasight mystery adventure series. Gen Kobayashi handles character design, as on earlier entries. The reveal covers the title and a key visual showing the series guide, an unfamiliar woman, a demon-like presence, and what appear to be camera or smartphone screens. Release timing will be announced later on the official Paranormasight and Daiyonkyokai X accounts.

In October, Daiyonkyokai released 'Their Beginning,' a free everyday erosion game set in the editorial department of the shoujo manga magazine LaLa, which marks its 50th anniversary. Players follow Serizawa, a rookie manga artist, and Shinojima, a LaLa editor. The two fell out, and Serizawa left the public stage; the game traces both questions through Serizawa's chat screen.

Both projects put Daiyonkyokai's fiction inside a publisher's own ground. The Paranormasight ARG sits beside a Square Enix series. The LaLa game sits inside a magazine's 50th anniversary. The company has not said how either connects to a release window beyond the accounts named for the Paranormasight timing. Cast announced for the manga 'Makuake' includes Saori Hayami and Nobuhiko Okamoto.
