Wizardry Variants Daphne Brings Its Abyss To Tokyo Game Show 2026
The booth trades last year's photo sessions for a playable, choice-driven demo, giving people who have never touched the free-to-play RPG a direct read on its dungeon structure ahead of any further growth.

Drecom's free-to-play dungeon RPG Wizardry Variants Daphne appeared at Tokyo Game Show 2026 with a walkthrough built on three 2.5-meter LED screens, letting players crawl the dungeon The Abyss of Beginnings in first person. Playtesters voted as a group on story choices, including whether to give a healing herb to a dying woman and who should open a trapped chest. The game launched in October 2024 and reached 4 million downloads as of August 2026.
The 2.5-meter LEDs put the player at eye level with the Abyss. Because the game runs in first person, every step forward moved the dungeon with the player, and Lulunarde was on hand to guide the route.
Decisions landed at fixed points and were settled by majority vote, with staff help during the demo. Saving a dying woman cost the party its herb and revealed a daughter taken by the Scorpion Woman. Opening a chest instead of sending a companion drew paralyzing gas, but yielded a Malevolent Trinket of the Seaside Labyrinth.
