Shibuya Scramble Stories is a live-action adventure game from designer Jiro Ishii, funded through multiple crowdfunding rounds with a 2028 release planned. Its cumulative crowdfunding total reached 115,557,783 yen as of September 25, 2026.
Shibuya Scramble Stories is a live-action adventure game set in Shibuya, led by game designer Jiro Ishii. Coverage through September 2026 traces its funding: a Ubgoe campaign in 2025 raised 54,754,878 yen, and CAMPFIRE rounds followed. Part 1 on CAMPFIRE brought in 43,637,905 yen in July 2026. On September 2, Ishii announced cumulative support had passed 100 million yen. That milestone unlocked one additional main character, not playable, with name and settings undecided.
The same September 2 announcement disclosed a funding gap. Of the Ubgoe money, 27,754,878 yen had not yet been delivered to the project. A second CAMPFIRE round added 1,607,217 yen, pushing the cumulative total over the 100 million mark. That round ran through September 30. By September 15, the team had opened a third CAMPFIRE round, running September 1 to 30 and styled as development-participation crowdfunding. Director Jiro Ishii, cinematographer Ayumu Iino, and actor Fumihiro Kitagami explained the need for the round. A gameplay demo video posted September 1 showed the intended quality and answered backers' questions about production costs and still-image quality.
On September 26, a talk event at 404 Not Found in Shibuya Sakura Stage reported the cumulative total had reached 115,557,783 yen as of September 25, combining Ubgoe and CAMPFIRE support. Organizers called that the second-highest cumulative amount for a completely new game development in Japan. The project has a 2028 release planned.
