“Life-intervention type watch-over game” Haunted Room! Urami-chan will launch for PC via Steam in 2026, developer Minimum Box announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Minimum Box:
About
Urami-chan is a “life-intervention type watch-over game” in which the player controls the earthbound spirit Urami-chan and travels back and forth between the present and the past of a room in an apartment building while trying to change the future of the murdered room’s residents. The game progresses in semi-real time, and players intervene while watching over the actions of the residents.
Story
December 31, 1988. Due to the murder of a resident “Ms. Noroi” in one of her apartment rooms, the apartment was in danger of being demolished.
It was a story that was no stranger to “Urami-chan,” the earthbound spirit in her room. Jishibei spirits disappear when they no longer have a place to call their own. With the advice of the human spirit “Onebii,” she returned to the past and took action to change Noroi’s future.
How to Play
One month from the time Ms. Noroi moved in until she was murdered. The player returns to the past from the calendar of the room where the murder took place and intervenes in Ms. Noroi’s life for three hours until the resident, Ms. Noroi, returns home and goes to bed, to make her presence known.
What Urami-chan Can Do
- Call
- Telekinesis
After three hours, the player returns to the original time, and if something changes, the date to return is updated. By using telekinesis to cause small “anomalies” at first, the past is gradually changed.
The number of “anomalies” that can be triggered will increase as the player gains experience by surprising Ms. Noroi. If you can make a big change in the past, might you be able to change your own future?
