【What is the "Tsugunohi" series?】

This horror game follows the protagonist as they move horizontally through various stages, representing everyday life gradually being invaded by terror. It's a popular representative work by ImCyan, an indie game creator known for numerous horror titles.

Since the release of the first episode in 2012, which became an online sensation for being "super scary!", the series has continued to gain popularity, primarily through YouTubers' "Let's Play" videos. In August 2021, a Steam® version compiling the series was released, and it has also been developed for various consoles including Nintendo SwitchTM.

Collaborations with legendary virtual artist Kizuna Ai, hololive Vtubers Inugami Korone and Houshou Marine, and game commentators Odaken and Pocky have also generated buzz. As of 2024, "Tsugunohi" related videos have amassed over 150 million views, making it one of the most talked-about indie games online. The latest information is being shared on the official "Tsugunohi" X account (@tsugunohi).

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.

In 2023, a package containing past works was released for Nintendo Switch, followed by a PlayStation®4 release in 2024. Additionally, collaborations with game commentators have been developed, and the series continues to gain popularity through gameplay streams, attracting even more attention.
