This game, which is the third installment in the Spirit Hunter series, promises to bring more haunting investigations and supernatural mysteries to players around the world.
In Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II, players will find themselves back in Tokyo’s H City, following the story of Kazuo Yashiki, the protagonist from the previous games. This time, the mystery revolves around Konoehara Academy, a place that has been shrouded in darkness and mystery since the disappearance of a series of students.
Yashiki, taking on the role of a teacher, must delve into the depths of the academy, searching for clues and unraveling the secrets behind the students’ disappearance.
The game introduces new gameplay elements, including 2D side-scrolling exploration sections, providing players with a fresh perspective and a unique way to interact with the game’s environment.
Players can also expect to see a handful of side characters, some of which are returning faces from Spirit Hunter: Death Mark, who will assist Yashiki in his investigation.
The official website and Steam page for Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II are now live, offering players a glimpse into the game’s eerie world. Additionally, fans of the series can look forward to a 14-track original soundtrack CD, available exclusively through the North American Aksys Online Store.
Developed by Experience, the studio behind popular dungeon-crawlers such as Demon Gaze and Stranger of Sword City, the Spirit Hunter series has garnered a strong following since its debut with Spirit Hunter: Death Mark in 2017, followed by Spirit Hunter: NG in 2018. Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II was brought to life through a successful crowdfunding campaign on Campfire, where it managed to more than double its initial goal, raising over 30 million yen.
As we eagerly await the release of Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II, players can expect a thrilling adventure filled with suspense, mystery, and the supernatural.
