Omodo Opens Steam Page for ByeByeObake Co-op Exorcism Game
Omodo is pairing a co-op gimmick that deliberately makes one player blind and one player unarmed with proximity voice chat, so the game's tension comes from imperfect communication rather than the shotgun itself.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Omodo opened the Steam store page for ByeByeObake!, an asymmetric co-op exorcism game, on October 9. It supports solo play or up to 8 players across two roles: the Exorcist, who fires a salt shotgun but cannot see evil spirits, and the Back Spirit, who sees them but cannot exorcise them. No release date is set; development targets PC by Halloween 2026.
The Exorcist carries a Purification Shotgun that fires salt and cannot see evil spirits. The Back Spirit sees them but cannot exorcise them. The Back Spirit can move through the air and pass through walls, but drift too far from the Exorcist and giving directions gets harder.
Friendly fire is on. The shotgun hits the Back Spirit too, so blind spraying does not work. Proximity voice chat drops in volume with distance and muffles through walls. At the Night Exorcism Office, players arrange weapons and discuss roles, and in-game money buys weapons and ghost costumes. Online rooms take 2 to 8 players via room codes. Solo play swaps between the two roles.
