Yoru no Namae Demo Opens Its Arcade Notebook at Steam Next Fest
The demo puts a small, nostalgia-driven novel game in front of Steam Next Fest's audience with two arcade music game veterans on BGM, which is the most direct claim the project can make on the era it depicts.

Yoakelabo showed a demo of Yoru no Namae at Steam Next Fest. The novel game is set in an arcade in a regional city and follows two girls absorbed in arcade music games, tied together by a communication notebook kept inside the game center. The protagonist returns to uncover the truth of an incident at the arcade, reuniting with an arcade friend after 10 years. .THi (Hiroshi Takeyasu) and TAG contributed BGM, and a Sound Room plays some tracks in high quality.
The demo covers the early part of the main story, in which the protagonist returns to a game center to sort out what happened there years earlier. The arcade friend from that period comes back into the picture, and the two work through misunderstandings that were left unresolved.
The BGM is the project's other selling point. Hiroshi Takeyasu, credited as .THi, worked on sound from the early days of arcade music games, and TAG worked as director and composer on dance music games. Both wrote new tracks for the game. A Sound Room lets players hear some of them in high quality. The game is in development for PC via Steam.
