A limited-time discount will also be available from launch day till November 12, with the game at 35% off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In The Second Reality Room: Unspoken Truths, players take on the role of Kogoro Satori, director of the titular Second Reality Room, as they interview and reveal the underlying \u201cillness\u201d afflicting various teenagers diagnosed with \u201cchuunibyou,\u201d a colloquial term describing adolescents with delusions of grandeur. The clients that come through the door talk and act with varying degrees of eccentricity, requiring Kogoro to talk, translate, and at times even peer into their \u201csecond reality\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1531\" height=\"856\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1531px) 100vw, 1531px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260916-72554-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260916-72554-001.jpg 1531w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260916-72554-001-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260916-72554-001-767x429.jpg 767w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1530\" height=\"858\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1530px) 100vw, 1530px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260916-72554-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260916-72554-002.jpg 1530w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260916-72554-002-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260916-72554-002-767x430.jpg 767w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gameplay is divided into three actions: Talk, Mind Read, and Translate. With \u201cTalk,\u201d players must gather contextual clues through conversation with the client. \u201cMind Read\u201d allows Kogoro to temporarily slip into the chuunibyou\u2019s reality as they see it. With enough clues, players can finally \u201cTranslate\u201d the meaning behind their words, uncovering their motivations and history behind why they act the way they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Second Reality: Room: Unspoken Truths is developed by Shadow Glove, a relatively young development team under FINE, who have previously released the social deduction game <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3193560\/Yokai_Landlord_Monster_Mystery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yokai Landlord: Monster Mystery!<\/a>, which is currently rated &#8220;Very Positive&#8221; on Steam. Their new title features character designs and illustrations by Japanese illustrator Shikimi, with a soundtrack by Sumire Murasaki, known for their contributions to the music of hit visual novel Urban Myth Dissolution Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main theme for the game, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/satori_chu2\/status\/2099332805251735824?s=20\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/x.com\/satori_chu2\/status\/2099332805251735824?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trans-Carte<\/a>, will be released worldwide via various music streaming services starting October 9, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Second Reality Room: Unspoken Truths\u2019 story is told in six chapters, including a prologue and an epilogue. The Early Access version of the game will include content all the way to chapter 4, totaling approximately 7~9 hours of gameplay, according to the Steam store description.
