Upcoming Indie Horror Game Release

KADOKAWA Game Linkage, based in Bunkyo, Tokyo, has exciting news for horror game enthusiasts. They are set to launch the newest title under their indie game initiative, ‘Shin Shinonome Onmyou no Miko’, on March 26, 2026, for both Nintendo Switch and Steam platforms.

About the Game

In ‘Shin Shinonome Onmyou no Miko’, players will take on the role of Yoruno, a shrine maiden searching for her missing Onmyouji brother. The game features a dynamically changing mansion where players must navigate through rooms that shift with each entry, all while encountering Mononoke, supernatural beings from Japanese folklore.

Sound plays a crucial role in this game. Players can use auditory cues to identify the types of Mononoke that lurk nearby or lure them into traps set with sound to defeat them. Rather than simply vanquishing these creatures, some situations may require players to cleverly make use of them, adding depth to the gameplay.

With an emphasis on thoughtful strategy rather than just action, players can successfully progress without mastering complicated controls, making it accessible for those who might struggle with fast-paced action gameplay.

Voice Acting

The character of Yoruno will be voiced by actress Akiko Suzumoto, known for her diverse roles in anime, games, and stage plays, including her role as Natsuhime Arisugawa in ‘The Idolmaster: Shiny Colors’. Her performance is expected to bring depth and emotion to the character, enhancing the overall experience of the game.

To kick off the launch, from March 26 to April 8, 2026, both the Nintendo Switch and Steam versions will have a promotional discount of 10%, setting the price at 1,485 yen (tax included).
