Spanking Exorcist

Spanking Exorcist cleared Steam review and released on July 31, one week after its originally planned July 24 launch. Developer Actor has since opened a Steam page for a new Sukunomono Series title, Astral Projection Battle, a four-player co-op horror FPS on PC.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 21

Spanking Exorcist is a comedy horror action game from solo developer Actor. Its Steam store page opened in July 2026, describing a game where exorcist Shiri Hatakiioto spanks the ghosts of apartment wives to send them to paradise. The page listed Unreal Engine 5, full voice acting, 69 types of spanking actions, and an endless mode with online score competition, with a PC release set for July 24, 2026.

That date slipped. The game did not launch on July 24. It passed Steam's review process a week later and released on July 31. The delay prompted two free spin-off apology games from the developer.

Coverage since then has moved to what Actor is doing next. The studio opened a Steam store page for Astral Projection Battle, a PC multiplayer horror FPS and the latest entry in the Sukunomono Series. It follows protagonist Aihara Baku on Kannagijima, an island where astral projection phenomena are increasing. Up to four players combine fire, ice, lightning, blood, and wind attributes with abilities. The game includes an Endless Mode and two endings.

Spanking Exorcist itself is settled: it cleared review and is out. What remains open is the Sukunomono Series, which now has a second announced title in a different genre, co-op multiplayer FPS instead of single-player comedy horror.
