UNSEEN's first public project, the yokai possession action game KEMURI, received its first detailed showing in September 2026. A new trailer titled "KEMURI - Okaeri. BACK TO CHAOS | TGS 2026 OFFICIAL GAME TRAILER" ran about 90 seconds and was timed to Tokyo Game Show 2026, which opened September 17 in Makuhari.

The trailer and a hands-on event at UNSEEN's office on September 16 established the game's shape. Players are yokai hunters in Kemuri City, a tourist city on the boundary between life and death, and move through a vertically stacked city to fight anomalies. KEMURI supports single-player and online co-op for up to three players. Players form contracts with defeated yokai and wear their powers as Possession Apparel, which grants actions such as high jumps and triple stomps. Consecutive hits remove the apparel and force a weakened fight. The playable demo let visitors enter a Yokai Domain Expansion and fight an Oni.

The game is scheduled for release in 2027 on PlayStation 5 and PC. The price is undecided.
