Japanese Game Developer Announces New Horror Game “Suggestion”
The Japanese game development team, “ぶんぶくず,” has announced the release of their new horror game “Suggestion,” which is set to debut on the Steam platform. The game, which is themed around the fear of descending stairs, has already generated significant buzz within the gaming community.
“Suggestion” is a walking simulation game that puts players in the shoes of an office worker who is forced to take the outdoor stairs after an elevator failure late at night. What starts as a routine journey home quickly turns into a terrifying ordeal, with unexpected and chilling surprises along the way.
The game is built on the Unreal Engine 5 (UE5), but the developers have chosen to present the visuals in a 16:9 straight cell phone video recording style. According to store information, the game will require players to start from the top floor and navigate their way down the emergency stairs.
One of the key elements of “Suggestion” is the subtle “implies” concept that the developers have embedded into the game. The presence of an unknown woman in red, who accompanies the protagonist down the stairs, adds another layer of suspense to the gameplay.
The announcement of “Suggestion” comes as part of the “Hint” response to game development activities, a production plan initiated by the Japanese free game platform “ふりーむ” in 2023. The developers have committed to updating the progress of the game on the second Saturday of every month, allowing players to track the development closely.
With its unique concept and spine-chilling storyline, “Suggestion” is expected to be a standout horror game on the Steam platform. Players eager to experience the terror of descending stairs can add the game to their wish list in anticipation of its release.
