When night falls, the map changes and demons make their appearance, which calls for players to come together to defeat them. On the other hand, daytime is spent clearing events and mini games, preparing for nighttime. Players compete in how well they perform in battles against demons. It appears that the use of Joy-Con motion controls is planned for the demon battles as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1068\" height=\"601\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911-263747-003-1068x601-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911-263747-003-1068x601-1.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911-263747-003-1068x601-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911-263747-003-1068x601-1-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911-263747-003-1068x601-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911-263747-003-1068x601-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911-263747-003-1068x601-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911-263747-003-1068x601-1-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911-263747-003-1068x601-1-746x420.jpg 746w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The game will support up to 4 players in both online and offline multiplayer modes.
