NGJ

NGJ is a studio with two active projects: a turn-based dungeon roguelike launching on Steam on November 12, 2026, with console versions following on January 21, 2027, and a webtoon spin-off of the Korean occult film Exhuma that launched on Naver WEBTOON on May 30, 2026.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 17

NGJ has two projects in the market across different media. Its turn-based dungeon roguelike has a fixed Steam release date of November 12, priced at 2,000 yen with a limited-time 15% launch discount. The Switch 2 and Switch versions arrive on January 21, 2027. Version 1.0 includes three initial classes, nine main campaign dungeons, and a 100-floor endgame called The Abyss, across three modes: Casual, Roguelike, and Hardcore. The roguelike had been in demo before the date announcement.

Separately, NGJ is connected to Maengjong, a horror-occult webtoon spin-off of the Korean film Exhuma. Naver WEBTOON launched the series on May 30, 2026. It follows the high school years of shaman characters Ha-rim and Bong-gil, covering their first meeting and events before the film's timeline. The webtoon is by Haemuri, creator of Trapped. The spin-off extends Exhuma's occult mythology to a new medium, following the film's domestic box office success with over 10 million admissions.

The two stories do not overlap in medium or release window. One is a game with a confirmed launch date and content list. The other is a webtoon tie-in to a film property, with no release date details beyond its May 30 launch. Neither story states a connection between the two projects, and no shared staff or release strategy is established across them.
