Niraya of ■■ Demo Version Information

Niraya of ■■ is a Japanese-style horror adventure inspired by Buddhist philosophy from the Kamakura period. The main attraction of the game is Rather than fighting or hiding, the game introduces a fresh mechanic that centers on “evading” a variety of terrifying monsters, and the sense of fear that comes from having to solve puzzles while exploring strange spaces.

In the demo version, players can experience the game from the very beginning through to the end of the first area.

The demo features exploration of the opening environment, encounters with enemies, and an introduction to the game’s distinct Japanese horror atmosphere — along with a glimpse into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the protagonist, “Yutan”.

The estimated play time for the demo version is approximately 30 minutes.
