STOVE is using a hands-on TGS demo to put its co-published visual novel in front of players roughly seven weeks before the November 5 PC launch.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
Smilegate's STOVE platform will show Psycho-Sleuth at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held at Makuhari Messe from September 17 to September 21. The psychological mystery visual novel is developed by Phosepo and co-published by Thermite Games and Smilegate STOVE. A demo will be playable at the STOVE booth. The game launches November 5 on PC via STOVE and Steam, with Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese support.
The game starts with 13 people who have cognitive impairments locked in a life-or-death death game. Their individual conditions double as abilities, and the culprit uses that power to distort what the player sees during investigation. Players enter a debate mode to break down contradictions while moving through characters whose cognition is compromised.
Phosepo developed the title, with Thermite Games and Smilegate STOVE co-publishing. The booth will also have the 2D action RPG Detained: Too Good for School on hand.
