FORCES is supporting the demo of its asymmetric multiplayer horror game Kakure Oni, which joins Steam Next Fest from October 20 to October 27 with a second demon, Kuchisake, added on October 20.
FORCES has one title in the current stories: Kakure Oni, an asymmetric multiplayer horror game that splits five players into four children and one demon across three-minute matches. On October 20 the studio adds a second demon, Kuchisake, to the demo. Kuchisake uses a forward charge called Dai Zutsuki that catches every child in its path, so the demon side can choose between Kakure Oni and Kuchisake.
The demo joins Steam Next Fest, which runs October 20 to October 27. The addition gives the four-child side two distinct escape problems to solve during that window. The demo is the period FORCES has before any release decision.
