Why it matters
With no release window or price attached, the wishlist page and the trailer are the whole of the announcement, and the split between the player applying tape seals and the players baiting yokai with tape guns is the only mechanic Outorbit Games has described in detail.

The game is listed as Coming Soon and is taking wishlist registrations; release date and price are both undetermined. HYPE supports one to four players in online co-op. Players run a high school occult club in a Japanese school. In the daytime half they walk the hallways between classes and collect rumors about the yokai said to haunt the building, and those rumors point to the identity of the enemy they will face that night. At night the school changes and the club enters the building with flashlights to seal a cursed object with tape seals, moving quietly because yokai roam the halls. Sealing draws them, so one player works the seal while the others pull the yokai away with tape guns and cover their teammate until the seal is finished.
Indie studio Outorbit Games is developing the game in first person. In the club room, players spend coins to buy equipment and items before the night run, including new tape guns, sweets that heal allies, and yokai apps for smartphones. Solo play is supported.
At night the club sneaks into the back school building rather than the main halls, flashlights in hand, and the school changes completely after sunset. The press release calls the club the only one that can protect the school from the yokai at night. Rumors gathered by chatting with classmates during the day are clues to the identity of the yokai the club will face that night.
Outorbit Games described the project in its own post: "We're hyped to announce HYPE: Highschool Yokai Patrol & Exorcism Our online co-op horror game where you and your friends are running a highschool occult club." The studio lists the genre as co-op horror (first-person) and names itself as developer and publisher.
