Brand new games from ACQUIRE and Aniplex
After a successful showing of games at PAX Australia 2023 and Taipei Game Show 2024, the Ukiyo Studios international playground continues with a strong focus on Japanese indie games. For the very first time in North America, the sultry shisha game Hookah Haze will be on the show floor. Developed by ACQUIRE Corp (Octopath Traveler) and published by Aniplex (Demon Slayer, Full Metal Alchemist), this talking simulation game will have you getting to know an eclectic mix of girls in Akihabara while managing a hookah lounge. Also from ACQUIRE are C.A.R.D.S. RPG: The Misty Battlefield and Scars of Mars, making their debut appearance in the US.
Titles from Shueisha Games
Urban Myth Dissolution Center by Hakababunko and Shueisha Games (video game arm of the manga publisher for Naruto, One Piece and Dragon Ball) is another Japanese indie title that’s picking up steam. Take on creepy cases and unravel the truth behind urban myths in this stunning blue-toned pixel art game. Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions, the casual tactics game featuring eight Jump+ manga heroes, will also be present and on sale during the PAX East Steam event. Lastly, fans of Touhou can also get their battle on in Touhou Genso Wanderer -FORESIGHT, a dungeon-crawler RPG by AQUASTYLE, ankaa studio and published by Phoenixx Inc. Folks who stop by will receive some exclusive Touhou merch from Japan!
Games from Critical Reflex
For horror aficionados, we’re bringing Buckshot Roulette and Drowned Lake by Critical Reflex. The first-person “Russian roulette x shotgun game” has already amassed more than 100,000 Steam wishlists as of March, making this one of 2024’s most hotly anticipated indie games. Drowned Lake takes fishing to the extreme as you explore the dark and mythical waters of the Amazonian river to catch evidence while avoiding being caught yourself.
Last but definitely not least, is kaiju brawler, GigaBash by Passion Republic Games. We’ll have a 4-player set up onsite so you can challenge your friends or beat up strangers! With the Godzilla Minus One movie just taking home an Oscar, there’s never been a better time to become a Godzilla main.
