UNSEEN Opens KEMURI Hands-On Ahead of TGS 2026
After three years of trailers and concept art since the 2023 announcement, UNSEEN has put KEMURI in players' hands for the first time and shown the possession apparel loop that defines it.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
UNSEEN held a hands-on event for its yokai possession action game KEMURI at its headquarters from September 16 to 19, 2026, under the name "Unreleased Area Tour." Players hunt yokai by making them visible with the Fox Window, then wearing their power as possession apparel. Oni, Frog, and Ittan-momen sets were playable. The game is led by UNSEEN representative Yuimi Nakamura.
The event ran three days, September 16 to 19, 2026, at UNSEEN's headquarters office and was limited to invited guests and media. A parallel PlayStation booth lounge at TGS 2026 gave content creators a chance to play around the same time.
KEMURI is set in Kemuri City, where paranormal events are routine and yokai are born from the stagnation of people's emotions and thoughts. The loop runs from sensing a presence, to making it visible with the Fox Window, to combat. Possession apparel assigns a borrowed yokai to the directional buttons and can be switched at any time. Oni wields a giant hammer, Frog uses its tongue for wire action, and Ittan-momen grants flight.
