Ryuki Ishii<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>PIYOSHI CREATIVE STUDIO has announced that their new game <em><strong>THE MADHOUSE | Kansen Yashiki<\/strong><\/em> will launch on November 18. It will be available on PC (via Steam) for 980 yen (approx. $8.70). 10% discount will apply for the first seven days. The game supports both Japanese and English subtitles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>THE MADHOUSE <\/em>is a survival horror game that takes place in a world where a new type of virus is spreading. The protagonist \u201cslips and falls while hiking in the mountains outside Westbridge City\u201d where \u201cthere have been a series of disappearances.\u201d When he wakes up, he finds himself in the courtyard of an abandoned house. Now, the protagonist must try to survive, and escape from this eerie place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE MADHOUSE | \u611f\u67d3\u5c4b\u6577 - Official Gameplay Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hvhBSjXkj3M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You will explore the abandoned house in first-person view. Strange creatures are lurking, and the game is over when you get attacked by them and lose all HP. Therefore, it is important for the player to move carefully and avoid being spotted. The game incorporates \u201crandom roaming,\u201d meaning, the creatures\u2019 roaming routes are not fixed. Making their movement difficult to predict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where the \u201cstealth eyes\u201d mechanic comes in. Stealth eyes allows you to see through creatures\u2019 eyes, providing \u201cmultiple first-person views\u201d to the player. This is similar to the sight-jacking system found in the <em>Siren<\/em> series. You can jack others\u2019 vision and see what they are doing. Use the gained information to avoid detection and stealthily navigate through the house. Enemies react to sounds as well, so you\u2019ll need to be extra cautious.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-001-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-001-02.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-001-02-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-001-02-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-001-02-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-001-02-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-001-02-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-001-02-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-001-02-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-001-02-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-001-02-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-002.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-002-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211011-178598-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The amount of consumable items that can be obtained, and the number of items you can carry are both limited.
