Death Momotaro is out now on PC via Steam. Hirasaka released the horror action comedy on September 25, priced at 420 yen with a launch discount running through October 9.
Death Momotaro began as a Steam store page and is now a released game. Hirasaka, described as a solo developer in September and an indie developer in October, opened the store page in early September and put the horror action comedy on sale for PC on September 25. The game takes the Momotaro folktale and reverses the hero's role: the player is Death Momotaro, fleeing Death Grandpa's kitchen knife and fighting the dog, monkey, and pheasant rather than the oni.
The two stories agree on the frame and on the price bracket. The September store page described four chapters: an escape from a giant peach, feeding Death Kibidango to the animals, shooting the oni on Onigashima, and a fourth chapter. It listed a price of around 400 yen and support for Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese. The release story confirms a 420 yen price with a 10 percent discount to 378 yen through October 9, and Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese support is the one detail the later story leaves unstated.
One thing changed between the two stories. The store page framed the oni as the target on Onigashima; the release story says the character held back until after the oni falls, Death Grandma, is the one Hirasaka is teasing as the hardest fight. Death Mode, a high-difficulty option, appears only in the release story.

Indie developer Hirasaka released the horror action comedy Death Momotaro for PC on Steam on September 25. The game follows the folk tale's hero, who flees from Death Grandpa's kitchen knife and fights the dog, monkey, and pheasant instead of the oni. It costs 420 yen, with a 10 percent discount to 378 yen running until October 9, and includes a high-difficulty Death Mode.
Solo developer Hirasaka opened the Steam store page for Death Momotaro, a horror action comedy based on the Japanese folktale. The player takes the role of Death Momotaro and fights Death Grandpa, the Death Animals, and the Death Oni across four chapters. Chapter one is an escape from a giant peach, chapter two feeds Death Kibidango to the animals, and chapter three shoots the oni on Onigashima. Release is set for late September 2026 at around 400 yen, with Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese support.
