The packaged PS5 and PS4 editions cost 8,800 yen excluding tax and bundle both parts of the story, the Transfer Chapter and the Revenge Chapter. The download release splits them: 3,900 yen each, also excluding tax, with the Revenge Chapter sold as DLC that requires the Transfer Chapter. Retailers open reservations from November 12. In the game, students are pulled into the otherworld Yomi, a labyrinth with no escape, and revive dead classmates to build a unit. The systems include Yomi Flowers, which open paths, Switch Boost, and Demon Skills that only the protagonist can use, along with giant enemies called Special Types.
Demon Kill Demon: Yomi 1984 is set five years after Yomi wo Saku Hana, an earlier dystopian dungeon RPG from the same developer, Experience Inc. The studio is led by representative director Hajime Chikami and lists Moncal Fanta, Spirit Hunter: NG, and Death Mark among its self-published titles, with Demon Gaze, Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy, and Ray Gigant among its developed works.
The story follows students pulled into Yomi, a death labyrinth with no escape and no help. A mysterious girl who massacres transported people stands in their way, and exploration uncovers a "Deus Plan" to "create a god." The central question the game poses is "Why was I killed?"
The main story is split into the Transfer Chapter and the post-clear Revenge Chapter. The PS5 and PS4 packaged version carries both. The download version sells each at 3,900 yen excluding tax, and the Revenge Chapter is DLC that requires the Transfer Chapter to run.
The game is rated CERO D, for players 17 and older. The official site is demonkill.jp.
