Game Overview

Taro-kun Has Arrived transports players into a world where the protagonist, Taro, a struggling content creator, disappears after a live stream from an abandoned village. This mysterious disappearance becomes the focal point of the game, where players must search online for clues to unravel the chilling secrets surrounding Taro’s fate. The eerie rumor that no one can finish watching his last video adds an intriguing layer to the gameplay, compelling players to dig deeper into the narrative.

Developed in the meta-horror genre, Taro-kun’s story not only integrates elements of horror but also questions reality through the lens of technology and media consumption. With this title, YAMI GAMES aims to challenge players' perceptions and deliver a unique horror experience.
