Roguelite Dice Survival Game Menherarium Launches February 18 on Steam

Menherarium

Phoenixx and Tezcatlipoca have announced new “bloodletting blood-betting roguelite dice survival game” Menherarium will launch on February 18 for PC via Steam. A free demo for Menherarium will be available on February 9 to give players a preview before launch.

Here’s an overview of the game, via Phoenixx:

Meet Menhera-chan (CV: Yuko Natsuyoshi), a charming yet psychotic gambling connoisseur who may or may not enjoy the taste of blood. Endure a seven-day gauntlet of throwing dice with Menhera-Chan, where each day punctures the jugular with new rules to remember — not to worry, she doesn’t mind a broken rule here and there. 

Roll the dice each day to recover blood, but throw a bad hand, and Menhera-chan sips a bit of the player’s blood. Stop the bleeding with health-restoring items, and tilt the odds in your favor with modifiable dice and re-roll chances. 

End each day by tuning into the Menhera Network, where she grades each day’s performance based on various categories, including Vitality, GutsChivalry, and Likeability. Why do those metrics matter while gambling? Remember, Menhara-chan is a bit quirky, to say the least. 

Menhara-chan grants coins for every day survived — use them to purchase consumables, extra rolls, or emergency health kits. Cheat and outthink Menhera-chan to survive as many days as possible before the seventh day approaches. Who knows how satiated she’ll be by the end of this bloody affair?

Kazuma Kaneko’s Tsukuyomi Releases for Nintendo Switch on April 23

COLOPL has announced that Kazuma Kaneko’s Tsukuyomi will release for Nintendo Switch on April 23. It will cost $24.99.

Kaneko previously worked on Shin Megami Tensei and Persona as the series’ character and demon designer. Tsukyomi is based on his previous game, titled Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter, and is available now on Android and iOS. It’s worth noting that Tsukuyomi is made using a GenAI model, which generates images for the cards, and is trained on art from Kaneko that is based on player actions and choices. However, the model that actively creates new cards is not available in the Switch version, and instead, only a curated set of the AI cards are available in the port. 

Check out the trailer for Kazuma Kaneko’s Tsukuyomi below, via Gematsu, alongside a message from Kazuma Kaneko himself:

Message from Kazuma Kaneko

Lastly, the game’s website describes it as follows:

Tokyo, 20XX.

Rising from the bay stands “THE HASHIRA”—a massive, high-tech complex dominating the skyline. It was supposed to be the pinnacle of luxury living. A perfect fusion of design and technology. But that dream died overnight.

A plasma barrier snapped shut around the tower, sealing it off from the rest of the world. Trapped inside, the residents had nowhere to run as the “Jinma”—abominations from beyond the rift—began their slaughter.

In the midst of this nightmare, Izayoi Tsukuyomi, an agent of the NCO, steps into the breach. His mission: infiltrate the demon-infested skyscraper. Waiting at the summit is either the restoration of order… or ruin at the hands of an ancient god.

V Project Revealed, Pre-Registration Now Live

V Project Revealed, Pre-Registration Now Live

Elementa has announced a new “immersive 3D idol experience,” titled V Project, which will release on iOS and Android. Pre-registration for the game is now live on the official website. 

V Project features full 3D visuals, created via Cel-Shaded Plus. Check out the first trailer for V Project, which shows off its visuals, below:

The press release describes the game as follows:

Set in a contemporary cityscape, V Project introduces its first three characters—Lee, Near, and OCT—as trainees. Alongside the trailer’s “Around the World in a Day” theme, the trio conveys a light, energetic presence, creating a warm and uplifting feel. The nearly one-minute performance shown in the gameplay footage reinforces the trio’s identity as trainees. The shift from the practice room to the stage suggests a coming-of-age story about young idols growing together, with the broader cast expanding gradually over time, and setting the stage for new groups and characters to be introduced.

Central to V Project is its “TOUCH” concept, designed to create connection between players and idols through shared moments and perspectives. The trailer brings this concept to life through fluid shifts in perspective, from first-person glimpses of everyday life, to a broader view of character interactions, to intimate, side-by-side moments with the characters. Through TOUCH, players can also experience the story from multiple perspectives: a first-person view into a character’s inner thoughts, a broader perspective for core story chapters, and a fan’s viewpoint that showcases high-fidelity 3D stage performances and music videos, as well as story fragments that gradually connect into a complete narrative.

Lastly, V Project will release at a later date for iOS and Android.
