DANGEN Entertainment announced 'I SHALL NAME THE DEAD ~Shisha ni Na wo~', a narrative adventure from scenario writer Tiago Rech, for Steam in early 2027. Players become Imagrada, a woman who can speak with the dead, and search for the lost names of the unburied dead in a cemetery metropolis. The game features hand-drawn art by Lirio Ninotchka and a surreal horror story involving a life-devouring Worm.
The game's protagonist, Imagrada, is possessed by a Worm that slowly consumes her from within. She has already lost one eye, but gained a 'dead eye' that lets her converse with the dead. Players explore a vast cemetery called Necropolis, talking to skulls and searching for names. Some dialogue choices are corrupted by the Worm; players can burn a match to purify them or let the Worm get closer. The scenario is handled by Tiago Rech, creator of 'TELEFORUM' and 'I DID NOT BUY THIS TICKET', with hand-drawn art by Lirio Ninotchka, art director for the latter. 'I SHALL NAME THE DEAD ~Shisha ni Na wo~' is scheduled for release on Steam in early 2027, with further details to come later this year.
