Asian Indie Roundup: "Ais no Su," "GhostStory," "CHERNOBORG REBIRTH," "RingTower"
The column's through-line is Chinese and bilibili-native creators shipping Japanese-adjacent genre games while leaving Japanese support off the table, which is a market decision, not an oversight.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Game Spark's September 2026 Asian indie column covers four projects. "Ais no Su," a multi-ending escape horror ADV, is set for release on September 28 and does not support Japanese. "GhostStory," a Cthulhu-inspired co-op horror third-person shooter from Hardcore Creation Works, has a new trailer on bilibili and supports English and Simplified Chinese. "CHERNOBORG REBIRTH" and "RingTower: Girls' Rhapsody" also received PVs.
Game Spark's periodic Asian indie column tracks projects from Chinese and bilibili-based creators that rarely appear in Japanese-language coverage. The September installment runs four titles across horror adventure, co-op shooter, turn-based simulation, and open-world action, with release windows on Steam and trailers hosted on Chinese video platforms.
Two of the four entries explicitly do not support Japanese at present, and the roundup uses that absence as one of its framing details.
- Ais no Su: Multi-ending escape horror ADV; release scheduled for September 28; does not support Japanese
- GhostStory: Cthulhu-inspired co-op horror third-person shooter from Hardcore Creation Works; trailer released on bilibili; supports English and Simplified Chinese
- CHERNOBORG REBIRTH: Turn-based simulation RPG from Moling Star Art Creation Club; first PV released September 8; Steam release planned; trial version scheduled for January 2027
- RingTower: Girls' Rhapsody: Third-person open-world action game; PV released September 9
