SENSE SHARE, the developer behind the upcoming sword-forging simulation, has opened the Steam store page for the game now titled Katana Kaji. The title was first announced as Japanese Swordsmith on August 13, with the Steam page going live the same day. The game places players in the role of a swordsmith in Kyoto during the Bakumatsu period, recreating the full process of forging a katana.
The simulation is described as hardcore, treating each step of the traditional process as a core mechanic. The process spans 11 stages, from charcoal cutting to final fitting. Players must manage steel temperature, hammer timing, and clay thickness. The game supports Japanese text and is planned for PC via Steam.
The two stories cover the same announcement, with the later story providing the official title and the 11-stage breakdown. The game is positioned as a niche simulation that prioritizes fidelity over arcade-style play, with wishlisting now available.
