When it comes to horror in gaming, it’s usually a mixed bag, as most games aren’t scary and instead rely on jump scares to frighten players. Or the studio thinks the game is too scary and tones it down, even though players want the best horror possible, even if it’s too frightening. But here and there, some outliers arrive, and Noroi Ayashi: The ∞th Oddity looks to be on, as it’s a time-loop horror RTA stealth action-adventure game that not only looks scary but is extremely disturbing, bringing a unique horror. Noroi Ayashi: The ∞th Oddity is set to launch in 2027 with no specific date yet, but will release on Switch 2, Switch, and PC via Steam.

Noroi Ayashi: The ∞th Oddity is a time-loop horror RTA stealth action-adventure game in which you take on the role of Seira, a member of the U High School Journalism Club. And your role is to investigate the urban legend of the “Cursed Doll Aya” in order to honor a dear friend’s final wishes. In the game, seven Mysteries are lurking within the school, each with its own unique method of avoidance and sealing. Crawl through the pitch-black school and scour every nook and cranny for clues to help you survive. The game is a time loop, so you will not survive your first encounter. Learn from the relentless ‘deaths’ you suffer again and again, and develop a strategy that strips away all unnecessary action. You will also meet other characters, such as Hime and Tae, each a member of the club you represent, with their own unique personalities and hidden secrets.

Noroi Ayashi: The ∞th Oddity is a unique-looking game with plenty of horror and mystery to discover, and it will support English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese language options. The game has no official release date yet, but it will be released in 2027. Keep your eyes out, as this looks to be a wholly unique horror experience based on the art style and premise. Noroi Ayashi: The ∞th Oddity is set to launch in 2027 with no specific date yet, but will release on Switch 2, Switch, and PC via Steam.
