shu3 has announced Death Game Report, a mystery adventure game with a Steam page now open. It is scheduled for release on September 1 for PC at 500 yen. Players restore records of students who died in a death game on a deserted island, using only the Records of the Dead, the Student Roster, and the Map of the Island to identify each cause of death, weapon, and perpetrator. shu3 describes the gameplay as Obra Dinn plus Type Help. His previous game, Dete Oide, Neko, holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam.
Players work through the deaths one record at a time. Each correct report locks in when three are gathered, and the confirmed records connect to reveal the next death. The game gives three clues only: the Records of the Dead, the Student Roster, and the Map of the Island. A hint function covers the stuck moments.
shu3, a commentator with about 500,000 YouTube subscribers and a member of the Napoli no Otokotachi group, describes the gameplay as Obra Dinn plus Type Help. His previous Steam game, Dete Oide, Neko, holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating from 583 user reviews, 97% of them recommending it. Death Game Report is priced at 500 yen and is scheduled for September 1 on PC via Steam.
