began streaming 15-second and 30-second commercials for the Nintendo Switch version of its Death Mark (Shiin) horror game last week.
Aksys Games announced at Anime Expo on Friday that it plans to release the game for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo Switch under the title Death Mark. The game will be available physically and digitally.
In Japan, the game shipped for PS Vita in June 2017, and then launched on the PS4 on January 18. The game's Switch version launched on June 28.
The game is set in a Tokyo suburb that has lately seen many bizarre deaths. All those who have died bear a "mark" on their body, and urban legends swirl about these marked people, with some saying they were cursed by spirits to die. Players take the role of one such marked person, and choose another character and fellow marked person as a partner. The protagonist and partner must visit haunted locations and find clues to unravel the mystery of the mark before they die.
