Serenity Forge and HazeDenki announced on June 29 that Imouto, Tasha, Paranoia will launch August 15 on Steam. The dark visual novel is the next project from the creators of Needy Girl Overdose, including writer Nyalra, illustrator Ohisashiburi, and composer Aiobahn. The story follows a reclusive light novel writer whose hypersensitivity lets him read minds, driving him deeper into isolation with his gifted sister as his only comfort. When his novel wins a contest, envy and resentment sour his few relationships, and the player can use his ability to manipulate others into killing themselves without leaving evidence. The Steam page warns of blood and injury imagery, mild sexual suggestion, and themes of mental instability, but no extreme violence or explicit sex. Nyalra said in an interview that the game explores grotesque elements he could not include in Needy Girl Overdose.
