Introducing DEPERSON

PARCO GAMES, the game label of PARCO, a company based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has officially announced the publishing of DEPERSON, a 2D psychedelic horror adventure crafted by the Turkish creative studio, Error Thing. This title marks the fifth release for PARCO GAMES, which began its publishing journey in 2025 with notable titles such as The Berlin Apartment, Constance, and The Antarctic Project. Following the announcement of Finding Polka in March 2026, DEPERSON is set to expand their growing portfolio.

The Storyline

At the heart of DEPERSON lies a compelling narrative: "Order protects you, but it simultaneously robs you of your true self." Players will be immersed in a surreal world seen through the eyes of Aaron, a character who awakens in the totalitarian state of Indriya, suffering from lost memories that conceal the key to his identity.

The game opens in a tranquil hospital room, where the only name Aaron recalls is that of a girl named Bella, who innocently talks about her favorite strawberry-flavored jelly. This seemingly simple interaction is layered with an unsettling atmosphere, igniting the question: Was she significant to him? As players navigate through Aaron's journey, choices begin to alter the reality he perceives, blurring the lines between truth and fiction. What unfolds can either lead to revelations of reality or descent into a fabricated existence.

Gameplay Details

DEPERSON is designed as a 1-player 2D psychedelic horror adventure game, scheduled for release in 2026 on the Steam platform. Currently, pricing has yet to be announced in anticipation of its release.

Players attending the upcoming event, BitSummit PUNCH, can experience a playable demo of DEPERSON starting from May 22. The demo allows players to explore the game's early first chapter, which showcases its psychological horror elements and captures the fragile nature of human perception. The short yet deep gameplay session invites players to delve into its narrative, revealing the disturbing universe that challenges their perceptions.

At the event, PARCO GAMES will also offer limited edition novelty items, including a mask themed around the world of DEPERSON and eco-bags for those who register the game on their wish list. The BitSummit PUNCH event will be a pivotal opportunity for fans to engage with DEPERSON while celebrating indie game culture.
