Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Aug 22

Zeitgeist Studio's NAME OF THE WILL: 集団後遺症 is a psychological horror mystery set in Hope, a 34-floor cult housing facility. The player, as Neighbor 3279, must survive seven days under constant surveillance. The game's pressure comes from a scoring system that tracks conformity during daytime lessons and interrogations, while nighttime stealth segments risk being caught and sacrificed. It is built on psychological pressure rather than jump scares or monsters.

HYPER REAL publishes the title. The release is confirmed for spring 2027 on Steam. A playable demo appeared at gamescom 2026, and the game also surfaced at BIC 2026 in Busan, where the demo was shown. A demo is available on Steam ahead of the full launch.
