Rensuke Oshikiri

Rensuke Oshikiri works as a manga artist, and the stories here establish two tracks running at once. The better established one is his own manga: Geniearth, a five-volume series that Titan Manga is releasing in English, and the romantic comedy Hi Score Girl, which is named as a point of comparison for his habit of switching genres. He describes prioritizing his own enjoyment when making manga, and in the Geniearth interview he explains that habit of switching genres and his love of superhero stories.

The other track is Noroi Ayashi, a horror role-playing game developed by Clover Lab and announced by Game Source Entertainment. Oshikiri handles character design. The announcement names the launch window as the second quarter of 2027 for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC via Steam, and lists Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese subtitles. The game has protagonist Seira entering U High School at night with newspaper club members Tae and Hime to investigate a friend's death, testing a rumor that a ritual summons the Cursed Doll Aya. It follows the school's Seven Mysteries, each with its own evasion and sealing method.

At Tokyo Game Show 2026, producer Shuhei Shinagawa described the game as built on death loops, with players retrying to learn clues and clearing at their own pace. Development was about 50 percent complete at that point. The pitch treats route mastery as the horror hook: Sohei Niikawa says puzzle knowledge lets players skip more each loop, so the game measures how fast a player solves it now versus at first. The genre label has moved across the stories, from horror RPG at announcement to horror RTA stealth action adventure in the most recent coverage.
