The Tsugunohi series, known for its daily-erosion J-horror, is going back to where it started. The new game, Tsugunohi: Tenmaneku Sukui no Ito, launches on Steam on August 25.
Developed with ImCyan, the game keeps the signature control scheme: press the left key to walk. The setting is a sweltering summer residential area, where a girl walks home from school each day. The sky gradually turns red, and the familiar route quietly falls apart.
The story is told in chapters, ending with a choice to take a hand or not. The store page describes the atmosphere as nostalgic yet unsettling, with touches of liminal space and dreamcore.
