Kadokawa and Wordan have revealed a new game titled SHINONOME ABYSS: The Maiden Exorcist. The game will launch in Fall 2024 on PC via Steam. It is currently unknown if the game will launch on other consoles. However, a trailer for the upcoming game is available to watch. Check it out below:
The Steam page describes the game’s features as follows:
Shrine maiden Yono takes on the challenge of escaping from numerous haunted houses in this roguelike!
Following in the footsteps of her missing Onmyouji brother, shrine maiden Yono arrives at a terrifying place where Mononoke(yokai and other vengeful spirits) live. The very structure of the mansion changes every time you enter. There are three game modes: “Harai,” “Misogi,” and “Gyou” with “Gyou” being the highest difficulty mode, in which players compete to see how long they can survive in an endless dungeon.
The goal is to escape from the haunted house and defeat the Mononoke by making full use of the traps and devices hidden in the house!
First, confirm the type and number of Mononoke by listening to noises coming from the next room, finding traces of the Mononoke, etc. Try to surmise the fighting style of the Mononoke and defeat them by setting up traps and then calling them over to you by making noises so they fall in the traps you made.
You can also try to understand the structure of the mansion and defeat the Mononoke by luring them into open fireplaces and pits. Defeating them in this way allows you to gain and save items as well. Survival here requires knowledge, experience, and courage. When Yono is in grave danger, another side of her personality appears, and she is greatly strengthened. Predicting and controlling this change is also a key to success.
Lastly, SHINONOME ABYSS: The Maiden Exorcist will launch in Fall 2024 on PC via Steam.
