I saw something about this, and speculation was that it was a visual novel of some sort. Something like Among Us actually makes sense for the series. It is also going straight into Playstation Plus, which makes sense if it's an online multiplayer game.

At a glance, I didn't know what to make of it, but the farther into the trailer I got, the more I realised it's not just an Among Us clone, it's Among Us and someone can use a Death Note. Very interesting. Is also risky of them making those little pawn characters look so visually unappealing in an effort to stay in-universe with the theming and lore. Very interesting.

Something like a decade ago, there was this weird little game called Mitadake/Misuterii High - it took elements of things like Death Note and Salem and used an RPGMaker-looking gameplay format to deliver an experience similar to Among Us, but one I think was much more anime flavoured than Among Us has managed to be. This Death Note game is probably the first time in a decade I've seen something come close to recapturing that particular weird vibe once more.

gonna be blunt....it looks bad.

I figured a mix of amongus and werewolf game...but its neither and just doesnt look very enjoyable for more than maybe a day.

If this gets a physical release on disc, I'd definitely get it! I wonder if Ryuk will play a role in the game.

Should have been a visual novel with multiple routes
