Game streamer shu3 opened the Steam store page for his new game Death Game Report on August 16. The game tasks players with restoring records from a death game on a deserted island, identifying each victim's cause of death, weapon, and culprit. It is slated for release on September 1 at 500 yen, with a playtime of four to five hours.
Death Game Report puts players in control of an old terminal, where typing in record names restores broken logs and reveals the final words of the deceased. Clues scattered through those logs are checked against a student roster and a map of the island to determine each victim's cause of death, weapon, and culprit.
Every three correct reports lock in a record, and each locked record links the remaining logs to outline the next death. The game is expected to take four to five hours to clear, and a hint function is available for players who get stuck.
shu3, known for his work with the four-person group Napoli no Otoko-tachi, also confirmed that commentary and streaming of the game are allowed for both individuals and corporations, with a request to include the store page URL in video descriptions and avoid spoilers in thumbnails.
