UMINEKOwalKing announced Glowstick Entertainment will publish the pixel-art psychological horror ADV 'BLACKOUT: Fatal Exposure.'

The game avoids jumpscares, uses random events and a multi-ending system, and launches on PC (Steam) in 2027, with a demo due late August to early September.
UMINEKOwalKing has a publisher for its pixel-art horror ADV. Glowstick Entertainment, the studio behind 'Dark Deception,' will handle publishing for 'BLACKOUT: Fatal Exposure.' The game puts protagonist Matsushita, a TV station employee on leave, to work sorting photos for a psychic special, separating psychic photos from normal ones over five in-game days.
Curse-driven phenomena, messages, and visitors with unclear motives close in as the sorting progresses. A figure demanding the photos appears, and the story tracks the curses and their origin. The game presents gradual horror with no jumpscares, includes random events, and supports multiple endings based on player choices.
Beyond Steam, the title is planned for PS4/PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and mobile (iOS/Android). It will support Japanese, English, and French. PC (Steam) release is set for 2027, and a demo with about 30 minutes of playtime is scheduled from late August to early September.
