Developed by Toydium, the upcoming indie horror game is based on the GeGeGe no Kitar\u014d anime series. It&#8217;s set to launch sometime in 2025 for the PC (Steam). The game will be available in English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NOROI KAGO: the Grudged Domain<\/strong> is an online co-op survival horror game that supports up to 4 players. Players are trapped in a cursed realm haunted by Yokai, supernatural creatures inspired by Japanese folklore. The objective is to look for a way to escape while fending off incoming attacks from the Yokai.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/noroikago-gegege-steam-20240905-309321-002.jpg\" alt=\"NOROI KAGO: the Grudged Domain\" class=\"wp-image-36586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/noroikago-gegege-steam-20240905-309321-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/noroikago-gegege-steam-20240905-309321-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/noroikago-gegege-steam-20240905-309321-002-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To break the seal trapping them in the cursed domain, players will need to perform a ritual. Items necessary for the ritual are hidden throughout the game field, and their locations change in each playthrough. In addition, players will need to search for items that can stall the Yokai or revive fallen teammates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOROI KAGO will put you up against not only Yokai, but an \u201cagonizing curse\u201d that gradually turns you into a half-Yokai monster. This process can hinder the team from escaping safely, so coordinated co-op play is key.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/noroikago-gegege-steam-20240905-309321-003.jpg\" alt=\"NOROI KAGO: the Grudged Domain\" class=\"wp-image-36588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/noroikago-gegege-steam-20240905-309321-003.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/noroikago-gegege-steam-20240905-309321-003-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/noroikago-gegege-steam-20240905-309321-003-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The art direction of NOROI KAGO is strongly influenced by the work of Shigeru Mizuki, the original creator of GeGeGe no Kitar\u014d. This influence is reflected in high contrast values, black and white tones and other characteristics of the mangaka\u2019s work. The upcoming title\u2019s trailer even hints at Kitaro himself making an appearance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOROI KAGO: the Grudged Domain launches in 2025 for the PC (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1299060\/NOROI_KAGO_the_Grudged_Domain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toei Animation announced the Gegege no Kitaro inspired horror game NOROI KAGO: the Grudged Domain for 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":36589,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[62,3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-36583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie-games","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
