Square Enix’s game will not be released on the usual target platforms.

The Japanese publisher, which has sent half a dozen live service games to the graveyard in about a week, and the horror-mystery-adventure game (also a visual novel) announced at Nintendo Direct will soon be released on PC, iOS and Android, in addition to Nintendo Switch. Here’s the game’s description: “Solve an ancient mystery in this horror-adventure visual novel game. How far would you go to bring someone back from the dead? In Japan, whispers surround the tale of the “Seven Mysteries of Honjo.” A mysterious “Rite of Resurrection” leads to conflict between those who have the power to curse… This unsettling tale occurs in the Sumida Ward of Tokyo, Japan, in the late 20th century. Unravel the hopes, dreams, and fears of these unique characters who find themselves in the grip of deadly curses as their motivations intertwine in a story that twists and turns. Lead the story to its conclusion with your hand!

Shogo Okiie, an ordinary office worker, visits Kinshibori Park in the dead of night with his friend, Yoko Fukunaga, to investigate a well-known local ghost story: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo. Shogo doesn’t quite believe Yoko when she talks about how the Mysteries are connected to the Rite of Resurrection and doesn’t pay it much mind until strange events begin to unfold before his very eyes. Meanwhile, several others are making their investigations into The Seven Mysteries… Detectives investigate a series of bizarre deaths, a high-school girl seeking the truth behind her classmate’s suicide and a mother who has sworn revenge for her lost son. Their desires and motives intertwine and interplay, with the Seven Mysteries of Honjo at the core, leading the story towards a battle of wits and curses.

Conduct investigations in Showa Japan depicted through immersive, ambient 360 backgrounds. With the support and cooperation of the Sumida City Tourism Division, the local museum, the tourist association, and the local community, real-life scenery from Sumida has been photographed with a 360-degree camera and recreated as photo spheres that cover the entire sky and surroundings. Unravel the mysteries of Honjo through investigation and conversations with many attractive—and suspicious—characters. Be sure to pick up all crucial clues and choose your movements carefully—or you may just meet your demise! Explore a story that twists and turns through multiple points of view and find ways to reveal new pieces of information. Navigate strategic gameplay and choose to either deploy your curses at the opportune moment or risk being cursed yourself.”

Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo will be released on March 9 for Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam), almost certainly with Denuvo because the publisher hates PC players that much), iOS and Android.
