PlayStation™5 and XBOX Series X|S versions are set to be released this summer!

“Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau” is a Japanese-style horror TPS game where you can fight back against the spirits.
Developed by indie game developer “Noto Muteki,” the Steam version was released in October 2024. The game’s unique concept of being a “horror game where you can fight back against unreasonable spirits that are immune to bullets and fists,” typical in Japanese horror, has captivated many players.
To enable more people to enjoy this title, AMATA Games will take on the porting and distribution of the PlayStation™5 and XBOX Series X|S versions.

What is “Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau”?
This game is not a classic Japanese horror game where you can’t fight back against the spirits. In Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau, you’re just as much of a threat as the spirits themselves!

Story
The story takes place in Japan, where exorcisms are carried out by government agents.
The protagonist is Mizuki Shiraishi, who is an exorcist from the Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau.
Shiraishi visits Saiga Village in Nara to investigate a mystery in which all trances of the village have been wiped off the internet.
Upon her arrival, she discovers all villagers have gone missing and the village is infested with a disproportionate number of unlawful spirits.
Electricity, communications, and the internet in the village have been all cut-off,
and Shiraishi also finds out that someone is pulling the strings behind the incident.
Shiraishi pursues the mystery with radio assistance from her boss Kohinata and her junior co-worker Maruoka.
