【What is the "Tsugunohi" series?】

A horror game in which the protagonist progresses sideways through various paths = stages, and
everyday life is gradually eroded by fear. This is a popular masterpiece by ImCyan, an indie game creator
who has created numerous horror works.

The first episode (released in 2012) became a hot topic on the Internet with the comment,
"Super scary! " and the series has since continued to gain popularity mainly through YouTubers' "live
game" broadcasts. Due to its popularity, the series has been translated into Chinese and Korean by
overseas fans, and in August 2021, a Steam version containing the seven games in the series and
two new titles will be released. Furthermore, in August 2023, a Nintendo Switch version containing
10 games in the series was released.

"Tsugunohi" has also collaborated with virtual celebrity Kizuna Eye, VTubers Korone Inugami and
Houshou Marine from hololive, and YouTuber Odaken, and as of 2023, the total number of views of
"Tsugunohi"'s live and related videos exceeds 150 million, making it one of the most popular indie
games on the Internet today. It is one of the most active indie games on the Internet. The latest
information will be posted on the official "Tsugunohi" Twitter (@tsugunohi) from May 2023.

Author's introduction

▶ ImCyan. Game author. In 2005, he won the Gold Prize at the Techwin Contest
Park for "Lost Maria," and in December 2012, his horror game "Tsugunohi," which was released in
December 2012, attracted a lot of attention for its simple yet innovative style. Since then, he has
created a variety of games in the "Tsugunohi" series. His style of transforming Japan's uniquely humid
and "damp" atmosphere into an expression of fear based on his own aesthetics has been highly
acclaimed. In recent years, he has been actively trying his hand at gothic horror and collaborating with
VTubers, further evolving his unique worldview. In 2023, a package containing past titles was released
on Nintendo Switch. In addition, collaborations with game players have been developed, and the game
has become highly popular and increasingly popular in the gaming world.
