On July 1, developer AlleyInn opened the Steam store page for 100-yen Exorcist, a survival horror comedy about a part-time job cleaning evil spirits from a school. Players can investigate for hints or throw meager supplies like glue sticks and scissors at spirits, which raises an Evil Spirit Anger Meter. The game is set for a 2026 PC release.
AlleyInn, the developer behind Clinging Back Spirit, opened the Steam store page for 100-yen Exorcist on July 1. The survival horror comedy casts the player as a part-time exorcist tasked with clearing a school of all evil spirits. The employer provides investigation supplies, but they are mostly useless items like glue sticks and scissors. Players can either search for hints on how to deal with each spirit or skip investigation and throw supplies directly at enemies-the developer calls this the main way to play. Throwing items or rushing in without investigating raises an Evil Spirit Anger Meter displayed on the player's smartphone, with five levels from Caution to Furious. Higher anger makes spirits stronger. 100-yen Exorcist is planned for release on PC via Steam in 2026.
