Developer Dank Hearts has confirmed the release of a new demo for Type-NOISE: Shonen Shojo, an adventure escape game with multiple endings. The demo will be available for PC via Steam starting February 24th as part of the Steam Next Fest: February 2024 Edition event.
- Hideo Kojima: the genius who revolutionized the gaming industry
- Lost Soul Aside will have a physical edition for PS5
The demo will include the game's first two chapters, allowing players to explore the enigmatic Noise Scramble City and face intense psychological challenges. The narrative follows six teenagers trapped in this surreal metropolis, where their traumas manifest in the real world through mysterious entities called Noise.
Psychological enigma in a distorted world
In Type-NOISE: Shonen Shojo, players immerse themselves in a Tokyo-inspired setting filled with mysteries and puzzles. The protagonist, Zena, awakens in a disturbing realm where reality merges with dangerous hallucinations. Each scenario demands strategy and observation to solve challenges and advance the story.
The city, which serves as a reflection of the characters' fears and inner conflicts, is filled with hidden clues. However, to escape, the teenagers must face their own emotional dilemmas, deciphering puzzles that unlock new areas and hidden secrets.
Characters trapped in their own conflicts
The six protagonists of Type-NOISE: Shonen Shojo are confronted by their weaknesses as they try to find a way out of the labyrinthine city. Each one deals with a psychological aspect that influences the gameplay: Zena confronts her stubbornness, Itsuki deals with jealousy, Honoka battles paranoia, Kaito battles his insecurity, Hiyori challenges her vanity, and Soto tries to overcome his emotional dependence.
The player will need to understand each character's traumas to advance the narrative. Therefore, interacting with elements of the setting and deciphering mental challenges will be essential to uncovering the city's secrets and finding possible escape routes.
Mysteries and choices impact the characters' fates
Beyond the puzzles, Type-NOISE: Shonen Shojo's narrative unfolds with multiple possible outcomes. Thus, the decisions made throughout the journey directly affect the fate of the protagonists and their relationship with the city's enigmatic guide, Spectre, a mysterious feline who guides players through this twisted universe.
The full version of the game is scheduled for release in 2025 on PC via Steam. In the meantime, interested parties can now add the title to their wishlist and try out the new demo at Steam Next Fest.
