Thermite Games released Byono Detective on PC on November 5, 2026, and brought O.T.K Games' Detained: Too Good for School to Tokyo Game Show 2026 as a playable demo.
Thermite Games has two titles in circulation this fall. Byono Detective, developed by PHOSEPO, launched on PC on November 5, 2026, across Steam, Epic Games Store, and STOVE. The Steam standard edition is priced at 2,800 yen and the Deluxe Edition at 5,035 yen, with a two-week launch sale of 10 percent and 15 percent off. The game is built around 13 Byono-sha whose cognitive abnormalities create murder tricks, and the premise is that a suspect's abnormality can pass to others and distort what witnesses perceive.
Six weeks earlier, Thermite Games brought Detained: Too Good for School, developed by O.T.K Games, to Tokyo Game Show 2026 as a playable demo. The demo opens with Reika and Julie leaving juvenile detention and returning to school. Weekdays run through six class minigames that unlock abilities, and the student council recruits the pair to find whoever framed them. A gym errand involving wrestling captain Oleg branches by player choice. 4Gamer's main reservation about the demo was that RP costs for specials and dodges make combat feel tight rather than fast.
Both titles put Thermite Games in the publisher role with separate external developers, PHOSEPO on Byono Detective and O.T.K Games on Detained. The two stories establish that much: Byono Detective is out on PC at set prices, and Detained is a demo-stage belt-scroller RPG that spends as much time on school routines, part-time work, and romance as on fighting.
