H9: Discover the Secrets of a Cancelled Game

The developer Ge-saku recently announced a very intriguing new game simply titled H9. Despite the cute girl visuals you’ll come across, this is actually a new horror game.

Scheduled for release in October this year on Steam, what is H9 all about? According to its Steam page description:

H9 is a faux-documentary horror adventure game that uncovers the truth behind a mysterious incident at the development studio of a canceled bishoujo game from the late 20th century.

The game features two modes: a novel mode and a gameplay mode, which run in parallel. You’ll switch between them to progress through the story. Your goal? To uncover the macabre incident that took place at the studio of a bishoujo game called Tokimeki Strip Rock-Paper-Scissors.

You alternate between playing Tokimeki Strip Rock-Paper-Scissors and exploring the lives of the developers behind it, trying to uncover the mystery at the heart of the narrative.

What makes this game even more interesting is that, according to its Steam page, H9 will include scenes of violence, blood, sexual content, psychological distress, and—most bizarrely—“shocking sequences featuring real actors.”

Additionally, the game will “interfere with your computer environment.” The developer assures players that there is no malicious code in the game and that it is safe to play without concern.

H9 is scheduled for release in October.
