Alliance Arts Sets PUKEY GODDESS SHOT TRICK for December 8

Alliance Arts announced at the Triple-i Initiative broadcast on October 9 that PUKEY GODDESS SHOT TRICK will launch on December 8, 2026 for PC via Steam at 666 yen including tax. A free demo covering roughly the first 20 minutes will go up on Steam starting October 19, and the game will join Steam Next Fest from October 20. The title is a Russian roulette drinking survival game set in the hellish bar Pandemonium, where the player faces the alcohol demon Fam Suhl, who loves the protagonist enough to want to kill them. Players pick one shot glass from a selection with different alcohol content, toast repeatedly, and try to make Fam Suhl pass out and confess everything before their own soul comes up. Fam Suhl is voiced by Nanahira. Producer and scenario writer is WHO YOU (Hayashi Fusao), art direction and character design are by odyk, and all music is handled by Aiobahn +81. The theme song DEMON'S SHOT has lyrics and vocals by DEMONDICE. Supported languages are Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese.

The Triple-i Initiative slot on October 9 was where Alliance Arts lifted the date, and the surrounding numbers show how far ahead of launch the game's audience formed. Wishlist registrations passed 200,000 about two weeks after the official reveal on INDIE Live Expo 2026.4.25, then 500,000 on September 29. The theme song DEMON'S SHOT, composed and arranged by Aiobahn +81 with lyrics and vocals by DEMONDICE, went up on September 30 and drew a large response. The store page lists Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese support, single-player, and a 666 yen price including tax.

The gameplay loop is built on a Russian roulette format. Shot glasses carry different alcohol content, and the more the player drinks, the more intoxicated they become, which unlocks drunken tricks that break the rules, such as adding stronger alcohol to the menu or stabbing an ice pick into your own hand to sober up. Exploring the 3D bar and accumulating choices branches the story into seven or more ruinous endings.
