Kakure Oni Adds Second Demon Kuchisake To Demo On October 20
Adding a mobility-based demon to a demo that previously offered only Kakure Oni gives the four-child side two distinct escape problems to solve during Steam Next Fest, and the demo is the window FORCES has before any release decision.

FORCES will add a second demon, Kuchisake, to the demo of its asymmetric multiplayer horror game Kakure Oni on October 20. The game splits five players into four children and one demon across three-minute matches. Kuchisake uses a forward charge called Dai Zutsuki that catches every child in its path, giving the demon side a choice between Kakure Oni and Kuchisake. The demo joins Steam Next Fest, which runs October 20 to October 27.
Kuchisake does not hide. Where Kakure Oni drops from the ceiling into blind spots, the second demon charges forward along its direction of travel and grabs every child in the path with a technique called Dai Zutsuki. That puts the choice in the demon player's hands at the start of each three-minute match, and it forces the children to read which demon they are facing before they commit to a hiding spot or a run.
The demo is playable now on the abandoned school map with up to five players, and CPU players fill empty slots. Medals picked up inside the map buy costume items for the children and items for commemorative photos. Steam Next Fest runs from October 20 at 2:00 to October 27 at 2:00.
