A horror game featuring a popular VTuber
Evil God Korone is a horror game featuring the popular Vtuber, Inugami Korone. The game follows an established format by the developer in which the player controls a character moving from left to right through the same area day after day, with the unsettling elements increasing as the game progresses.
The game can be likened to other unsettling horror games, such as The Quarry, though the style of this game is more specific. Due to the repetitive looping nature of the horror, another good comparison would be P.T. for PC.
Bringing Inugami Korone into the game
Inugami Korone is a popular VTuber — virtual YouTuber — who is somewhat known for playing horror games. Evil God Korone puts her in the game as a malevolent entity that requires everybody to watch her stream. The player takes control of a young man walking home from school, and each day his walk becomes filled with more sinister imagery.
A narrative experience
Evil God Korone is essentially a walking simulator with a narrative component since there is nothing for the player to do other than walk through the levels and experience the story as it unfolds. The game draws the player’s attention to certain elements in the background while leaving other more subtle ones to be discovered by the player on their own.
Short and specific
Evil God Korone is quite a short game, and there isn’t really any gameplay in the traditional sense, as mentioned above. That being said, fans of narrative-driven horror games — and especially fans of Inugami Korone or Tsugunohi games — should find something to enjoy in this game. Of course, players who are sensitive to unsettling imagery will want to approach with caution.
