About the Game

Uncover the “answer” hidden within the images and reveal the true nature of the vengeful spirit.

In this horror adventure game, you take on the roles of “Minami,” the host of the video streaming channel [Tatarium], and her assistant “Kitakura,” as you examine eerie paranormal photos sent in by listeners.

But it doesn’t end with simply finding “where the spirit is captured.”

Why was this photo taken? What exactly is the spirit trying to convey?

Use the scattered clues to piece together the gruesome truth behind the photo.

[Game Features and Enhancements]

• Uncover the Invisible Horror:

A new system allows you to adjust the photo’s “contrast” and “tone” in real time. Strange phenomena lurking in areas that appeared as mere darkness to the naked eye will reveal themselves.

• The Deepening Thrill of “Analysis”:

A story that begins with a ghost story in the opening and gradually unfolds. When you finish your analysis, the true meaning of the photo will be revealed.

• An Anomaly Strikes the Streaming Studio:

As you process the photos, ominous phenomena begin to occur on the [Tatarium] stream and within the studio. Will they be able to deliver the stream safely until the very end?

• Generally speaking, we welcome streaming, including spoilers and monetization.

[Important Notes]

• While all characters and photographs appearing in this work are based on real-life footage, the story and its presentation are fictional.

• This is a horror game. If you have a weak heart or are sensitive to scary content, please refrain from playing.

• Anyone is free to stream this game. If you do stream it, please include the game title “SHISYA ZERO” in both the thumbnail and the title.
• To ensure that as many people as possible can experience this game as a fresh and thrilling horror experience, we ask that you refrain from streaming or posting videos of your second playthrough or beyond for one week, from the release date of July 31, 2026, until 11:59 PM (JST) on August 7, 2026, to prevent spoilers.
(*The content available for streaming extends up to the screen that appears after the first playthrough's credits, which reads, "The second playthrough scenario has been unlocked.")

• We have made every effort to avoid using words in this work that may trigger automatic speech censorship on platforms such as YouTube (e.g., demonetization), including expressions related to suicide. In the unlikely event that such words appear on screen, we recommend that you either avoid reading the corresponding lines aloud or soften the wording as appropriate.
