Streaming Horror Kimodameshi Online Gets Steam Demo

In Kimodameshi Online, a traitor exposed by a vote turns into a streamer. The online horror game for 4 to 8 players, set in a Japanese junior high school from the Shōwa era where you film ghosts to rack up viewers, now has a demo you can try before buying. The game is on PC (Steam) and supports English.

You play a masked Streamer, filming ghosts and other strange phenomena in a school building frozen in time since the day of an accident. The more you film, the more viewers you get, and the lower your SAN (sanity), the bigger the payoff. Hit 0 SAN, though, and you pass out. Play it safe, or push your luck for the payoff? A downed teammate can be revived if someone reaches them within a minute.

The other choice is who to suspect. Traitors possessed by a ghost hide among the players. They walk through walls and set traps to disrupt the stream. Everyone else votes to drive a Traitor out, and a Traitor who draws the most votes turns into a Streamer on the spot. A November 4 update changed how the vote works and added a quick match mode, plus a gallery for sharing player-made haunted houses.

The longer you keep filming at the cost of your SAN, the bigger the payoff, but a Traitor is somewhere behind the walls setting traps. Each push deeper will likely mean wondering about your teammates, too. And because an exposed Traitor rejoins the shoot as a Streamer, everyone should stay in the game, camera in hand, until the end.

Kimodameshi Online is developed by Panda and Uzumi Tsumiki. On November 8, the day before the demo’s release, Panda said on X that downloads since the October release had reached 10,000.
