Yuoni is a first-person survival horror that requires you to play a few games of hide and seek with some ethereal dudes and a creepy doll-looking child. Sounds inviting right?
Japanese developer Tricore is behind the game, which takes the childhood games of tag and hide and seek to new dark and twisted lows. Running and hiding without any means of defending yourself is hardly a novel concept in horror games, with big titles in the genre like Amnesia and Outlast being just some that come to mind. But Yuoni seems confident in its potential to deliver this well-worn trope in tandem with some more unique aspects to deliver something fresh.
“The game takes place in a mysterious world where the sun is forever on the brink of setting. Doors in a hospital lead to a Japanese house, and doors there lead to a classroom… Three incongruent places are connected with no hint as to how or why,” reads the game’s description.
You play as fifth-grader Ai, who has been sucked into this mysterious dimension in the year 1990. She is now forced to partake in these children’s games, which feel creepily incongruous in such a dark and sinister setting. Check out the announcement trailer below.
