Japanese horror game about investigating the mysterious Big Titted Man urban legend is based on the solo developer’s real-life experience visiting girls’ bars

Japanese solo developer Actor has been cooking up a new mystery horror game following the success of his eccentric horror comedy Spanking Exorcist. Boldly titled The Big Titted Man, the game was unveiled on November 8 on Steam. Release date is TBD.

The Big Titted man is set in a Japanese girls’ bar PaiPai (prepare for a lot of breast jokes and innuendos going forward), where a strange rumor has been spreading. According to an urban legend, a mysterious man, dubbed The Big Titted Man, has been roaming the streets, chasing and kidnapping whoever he catches. Playing the game from two distinct perspectives, you’ll have to gather clues and information to uncover the truth behind the Big Titted Man’s terror.

In Customer Mode, you’ll be playing as Ochi Chisuki, a Japanese businessman who frequents the PaiPai bar. When you visit the bar, you’ll have the opportunity to drink and chat with the three hostesses working there, and your dialogue choices and actions will determine how much they like you. Get on their good side, and they might reveal some clues about the mysterious Big Titted Man.

Outside of the girls’ bar, you can freely explore the nighttime streets, collect information, items, or even help people in trouble and earn cash (which you can later use to splurge on drinks at the Pai Pai bar). Of course, you can also be a menace if you really want to – but cause too much trouble and the police might get you.

On the other hand, Hostess mode allows you to play as Yui, the novice hostess. This time, you’ll be the one who serves Ochi and other customers who visit the bar, with the goal of making as much money as possible. You’ll have to engage in various minigames like mixing drinks and karaoke, aiming to achieve record-breaking sales while also keeping customers happy. The events you witness as a hostess could also be clues to the whereabouts of the Big Titted Man.

According to the developer, many of the incidents at the girls’ bar in this game are inspired by real life events. Apparently, the developer personally visited bars and gathered stories from real-life hostesses to bring this game to life.

The Big Titted Man is set to release for PC (Steam). The launch date is TBA.
