SNS Kanshibito Demo Launches, Horror Management Sim of Deleting Cursed Images
The indie development team READY! released a demo version of the PC horror management simulation game 'SNS Kanshibito' on Steam on July 13, 2026. The game follows a protagonist who takes a suspicious high-paying part-time job as an 'SNS monitor' to earn 1 million yen for his mother's surgery within seven days. Players patrol a social media timeline, reviewing uploaded images and deciding whether to approve normal ones or delete cursed, forbidden images. The job takes a toll on the protagonist's mental health, so players must manage stress by taking breaks, playing games, or purchasing stress relief items. Getting caught slacking off by the boss lowers the evaluation and risks termination. The game also features a 'Survey Function' that lets players toggle off specific horror elements like jump scares, insects, or phobias before starting. The demo covers the first day of work and takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. The full version is scheduled for release in October 2026 at a price of 600 yen, and supports Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.
