A dream collaboration between Tsugunohi and horror game streamer Odaken!
Zombie Scream for Switch and PS4 is finally here!

The long-awaited collaboration between Tsugunohi, the “leftward-walking everyday horror” game, and popular horror game streamer Odaken comes to Nintendo Switch (hereinafter “Switch”) and PlayStation®4 (hereinafter “PS4”) on Thursday, June 26 at midnight.
Originally debuted in August 2020 on Odakenʼs YouTube channel, this chilling horror game features Odaken himself as the main character. Players experience a gradually unsettling “everyday invasion” in a gloomy and humid town.

This game was once considered a “phantom title,” playable only by Odaken himself. After its official release on Steam® in June 2022, itʼs now making its long-awaited debut on both Switch and PS4. Like the Steam version, the console release includes a newly added branching route. In this alternate path, players encounter a “horror game writer neighbor,” whose eerie presence becomes key to the unfolding story...

▼Highlights of Zombie Scream
1) A dream horror collaboration: Tsugunohi × Odaken, the master of horror screams.
2) A story featuring Odakenʼs signature “fish” motif.
3) New branching endings added since the 2020 debut̶experience two different outcomes!

▼Story
Odaken, a Japanese game streamer living alone in a suburban apartment, spends his days uploading gameplay videos online.
But little by little, his daily life begins to shift in unsettling ways̶
And at the end of that spiral lies... the ultimate terror.

Tied to Branching Endings!
Trophy Achievements Now Available on PS4!

In the PS4 version of Zombie Scream, players can earn trophies through PlayStation®Network based on their gameplay progress.

【What is Tsugunohi?】

A horror game in which the protagonist progresses sideways through various paths = stages, and everyday life is gradually eroded by fear. This is a popular masterpiece by ImCyan, an indie game creator who has created numerous horror works.
The first episode (released in 2012) became a hot topic on the Internet with the comment, "Super scary! " and the series has since continued to gain popularity mainly through YouTubers' "live game" broadcasts. Due to its popularity, the series has been translated into Chinese and Korean by overseas fans, and in August 2021, a Steam version containing the seven games in the series and two new titles will be released.
Furthermore, in August 2023, a Nintendo Switch version containing 10 games in the series was released.
"Tsugunohi" has also collaborated with virtual celebrity Kizuna Ai, VTubers Korone Inugami and Houshou Marine from hololive, and YouTuber Odaken, and as of 2023, the total number of views of "Tsugunohi"'s live and related videos exceeds 150 million, making it one of the most popular indie games on the Internet today. It is one of the most active indie games on the Internet. The latest information will be posted on the official "Tsugunohi" Twitter (@tsugunohi) from May 2023.
