Summary

  • Unseen Inc. debuted the first gameplay trailer for KEMURI
  • Players battle or harness yokai powers in mist‑shrouded, cinematic landscapes
  • Launching on PS5 in 2027, the game blends folklore with modern action mechanics

During the 2026 PlayStation State of Play showcase, Tokyo-based studio Unseen Inc. emerged from the shadows to debut the first gameplay trailer for KEMURI. Formed by the charismatic former Tango Gameworks veteran Ikumi Nakamura, the indie studio has crafted a vibrant and stylish third-person supernatural action game.

The trailer invites players to step into the vertical urban jungle of “Kemuri City,” a sprawling, rain-slick metropolis located right on the boundary of the afterlife where ordinary reality and the paranormal tightly intersect. Boasting a striking, manga-stylized aesthetic that perfectly channels the energy of hand-drawn anime art, the trailer highlights an environment where supernatural phenomena are woven directly into everyday life.

The debut gameplay footage details a unique, fast-paced supernatural loop centered around “Yokai Hunters” who roam the city to track down paranormal spirits hiding in plain sight among the living. At the core of exploration is a tactical signature mechanic called the “Foxwindow,” a hand sign players form to peer through the space between their fingers, actively tearing open the barrier to expose hidden fractures and pull themselves into stunning, emotional yokai realms.

Slated for an official global rollout on PlayStation 5 and PC in 2027, the title supports single-player along with online co-op for up to three players, letting teams run across rooftops and through hidden underground ruins together.
