If you’re feeling brave and in need of a scare, developer Endflame and publisher PM Studios’ Japanese folklore-inspired first-person scare-’em-up, Ikai, may be exactly what you need right now.
The good news? The Barcelona-based three-person indie studio has confirmed that its in-development horror title will officially arrive on PC, PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch on March 29, 2022.
Interestingly, Ikai won’t be just a cat-and-mouse, run-and-hide experience. Instead, players will have the opportunity to use special ‘mystical kanji’ to help defend themselves against the otherworldly paranormal entities.
For those who’re after a physical release of Ikai, you’ll be able to nab a limited edition version of the title for $34.99 that bundles together a postcard and few bonus stickers featuring the game’s eerily dark artwork.
