Rensuke Oshikiri is handling character design for the horror game Noroi Ayashi, which Clover Lab is developing for Switch 2 and Switch with a 2027 release planned by Game Source Entertainment. Titan Manga is releasing his five-volume series Geniearth in English.
Rensuke Oshikiri is a manga artist whose self-described habit of switching genres runs through his recent coverage. He is known for Hi Score Girl and Sayuri, and his five-volume series Geniearth, a violent action work that contrasts with the romantic comedy of Hi Score Girl, is being released in English by Titan Manga. In an interview, Oshikiri said he prioritizes his own enjoyment when making manga, and he discussed his love of superhero stories alongside his tendency to move between genres.
His newest project moves him into games. Noroi Ayashi: The Infinityth Oddity is a horror role-playing game developed by Clover Lab, inc., with a launch planned for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC via Steam in the second quarter of 2027. Oshikiri handles character design on the title, which pairs him with producer Sohei Niikawa, the former president of Nippon Ichi Software who also writes under the pen name Roman Kitayama. The game follows protagonist Seira, who enters U High School at night with newspaper club members Tae and Hime to investigate a friend's unexplained death, tests a student rumor that a ritual summons the Cursed Doll Aya to kill a hated person, and is pulled into a cycle of nightmares. Each of the school's Seven Mysteries has its own evasion and sealing method, and the game includes Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese subtitles as a single-player title.
By Tokyo Game Show 2026, the project's design was being framed around player knowledge rather than character progression. Producer Shuhei Shinagawa described a horror game built on death loops, where players retry to learn clues and clear at their own pace, and development was about 50 percent complete. Coverage of Noroi Ayashi has centered on Oshikiri's involvement in the game's character design, an unusual move for the manga artist whose recent English-language release is Geniearth.
