Howdy! I’m Oli, the sport director at Kaizen Recreation Works, the creators of Paradise Killer. I’m thrilled to announce that the playable demo for our new open world mascot administration crime drama, Promise Mascot Agency, is out right this moment on PS5!
We’ve spent a very long time engaged on this recreation, and the entire workforce is happy for PlayStation gamers to get their arms on it. Let me kick it to you straight; the PS5 guidelines. All of us at Kaizen primarily play on PlayStation, and all of us grew up with the unique PlayStation, PS2, PS3 and PS4. I accumulate PlayStation and PS2 video games, and that period instantly influenced the design of Promise Mascot Company.
I really like PS2 video games the place you Hangout And Do Stuff. Have you ever ever performed Approach of the Samurai, Uncooked Hazard, Boku No Natsuyasumi and Steambot Chronicles? You must! You possibly can actually chill in these video games, meet attention-grabbing characters, make vital selections and discover at your leisure. That’s the form of recreation we wished to make; a enjoyable world with mysteries, weirdos, secrets and techniques, good gameplay friction and immaculate vibes.
Take management of the exiled yakuza lieutenant Michi, and workforce up with the chaos goblin Pinky to avoid wasting a bankrupt mascot company and resolve the underworld conspiracy that acquired Michi despatched to a cursed city on the coast of Japan. On this recreation, mascots reside creatures and the city of Kaso-Machi is crammed with misfits that may’t discover work anyplace else. Michi goes to wish to construct a brand new household of mascots and assist them obtain their desires, so he can save the enterprise and his yakuza household again residence.
Kaso-Machi is a city dwelling underneath a supernatural curse. The mountain within the centre of the island is a playground for spirits and gods. The city is steeped in superstition and occult tales. Michi is ready to attempt to resolve the thriller behind ghost sightings, escaped sin talismans and the legendary Tsuchinoko creature. Nonetheless, his time on the town may be restricted; the curse that hangs over the city kills any yakuza that come to go to. Can Michi save the mascot company and resolve a conspiracy earlier than the curse rots his physique?
We began this undertaking 4 years in the past, collaborating with Ikumi Nakamura and Mai Mattori to design the characters and world. We have now blended the Kaizen model with Nakamura-san’s model to create a weird, nostalgic, distinctive recreation. We’re a western firm, so now we have labored with Japanese artists, musicians and creatives to carry our world to life and fill it with authenticity. Usually we offer little or no artistic path, permitting our workforce members to craft one thing that’s genuine and significant to them. This has crammed the sport with plenty of completely different influences and lived experiences.
We not too long ago unveiled a few of our voice actors together with the voice of Kiryu Kazuma, Takaya Kuroda as Michi. We by no means anticipated to have the ability to embody voice appearing, and we CERTAINLY didn’t anticipate Kuroda-san to simply flip as much as the audition prefer it wasn’t a giant deal. He groups up with Ayano Shibuya as Pinky to create a buddy-cop dynamic between Michi and Pinky. The sport options many nice voice actors, together with the primary voice appearing roles for Shuhei Yoshida and SWERY.
We’re a small workforce and it has taken all the pieces now we have to make a giant, foolish, beneficiant, weird 20 hour open world RPG. We’re so completely satisfied to share it with you all. We hope you benefit from the demo (and the DualSense controller haptics, adaptive triggers and speaker options) on PS5. We’ll have extra to share concerning the full launch date quickly. Now, get on the market, maintain guarantees and obtain desires!
