Fans of Japanese Horror will want to check out BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA! This gore filled treat looks like it’s honouring more than the craziness that’s found in Haus, but I feel there’s a lot more going on in this third-person psychological horror adventure developed by IchimatsuSuzuka. Published by Kodansha Game Creators’ Lab, this creepy looking video game will become available on Steam (PC) just days before Halloween!
After a strange creature assaults and kidnaps college student Garasu Yuki’s beloved dog Chocolat, she has only one lead: a slithering entity beneath the ground. To reunite with Chocolat, Yuki ventures into the dark depths of Mt. Utaga as night falls. Unveil the quiet town’s horrifying history while avoiding the monstrosities along the road.
From the Press Release:
As the story unfolds, the protagonist shifts to a young boy carrying his little sister through endless, identical corridors. Dodge the lethal attacks of a blood-soaked pursuer wielding a Japanese sword while searching for an escape route. As the clock winds down, help the boy and his sister navigate a way out for even the slimmest chance at survival.
IchimatsuSuzuka, a veteran developer renowned for his works on GOHOME and 夜詛YASO curse of soirée, has garnered over 95 million views on YouTube.
