The horror adventure game BLACKOUT: Fatal Exposure, developed by UMINEKOwalKing and published by Glowstick Entertainment, releases a demo on Steam on September 7. Players sort ghost photos out of normal ones over five in-game days, and the sorting results change the ending. The demo runs about 30 minutes, with the full version due in the first quarter of 2027.
The protagonist Matsushita, on leave from a TV station, takes a five-day photo-sorting job from a former boss after ghost photos get mixed in with the normal ones meant for a special. Each day a different visitor arrives, and players decide through the peephole whether to trust or refuse them.
The game avoids jump scares entirely, relying on random events and tension that builds gradually. The demo takes about 30 minutes to play, while the full version runs 2 to 3 hours before replay elements and ending collection are factored in.
