TredGames released Gohei on Steam on June 1, 2026, priced at 500 yen with a 10% launch discount to 450 yen through June 8. The roguelike game has players type words associated with a given theme-such as "red," "animal," or "winter"-and an AI judges relevance in real time to determine damage against yokai enemies. Inputting "tomato" for the theme "red" lands a hit, while low-relevance words deal little damage. The protagonist shrine maiden wields a gohei (ritual wand) that strengthens through battle, and paper streamer rewards carry conditions like "red" or "big" that add bonus damage when the input word matches. The game includes 27 yokai such as chochin-obake and rokurokubi, each with a brief description.
