HexaDrive, the developers behind Silent Hill: The Short Message, have a new game in the works with a bit of an odd title.
Earlier this year, Konami published its first Silent Hill game in many years, The Short Message, but the developer didn't actually make it itself. The game was actually outsourced to HexaDrive, a developer that's been making games for other studios for years, like the Square Enix published The Third Birthday, as well as the Nintendo 3DS port of Metal Gear Solid 3. Now, it's working on its very own horror title, Niraya of ■■, which yes, as of right now, is the title of the game (thanks, Eurogamer). Who knows if a full title reveal will come somewhere down the line, but we'll stick with just Niraya for now.
You can check out the trailer for the game above, which looks very early on in development, but the game's Steam page explains it in more detail. "Niraya of ■■ is a Japanese horror game inspired by the Buddhist beliefs of the Kamakura period," the Steam page reads. "The game focuses on a unique system where players "avoid" the attacks of various monsters, rather than defeating or hiding from them. This, combined with the fear of exploring eerie environments and solving puzzles, is a major draw of the game."
