Kodansha Creators’ Lab Unveil Two New Games: BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA and BURGGEIST

In attendance during this weekend’s INDIE Live Expo 2024 digital event, Kodansha Creators’ Lab, the indie game publishing arm of Kodansha Ltd, announced two new games they will be bringing to audiences in the future: The horror-adventure game BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA from Ichimatsu Suzuka, and the tactical action strategy game BURGGEIST from GHRIAN STUDIO. Both are set for release on the PC via Steam later in the year.

You can read and see more about each, below:

BAN: The Prologue of GUCHA GUCHA

College student Garasu Yuki’s life turns upside down when a mysterious monster interrupts her nightly walk with her dog Chocolat. Chocolat bolts away from Yuki out of fear, leaving paw prints toward the bizarre Utaga mountain foothills. Embark on a nightmarish rescue mission revealing the hidden, gruesome underbelly of Yuki’s hometown. 

BURGGEIST

A war general’s supernatural encounter leads to the construction of an impossibly tall tower, which can only be completed with the help of the BURGGEIST – a colossal, destructive entity. In an equal parts action-meets-strategy experience, search for resources while navigating the undulating terrain of ALIKSAN alongside the BURGGEIST, placing both offensive and defensive structures on its back to provide tactical advantages in battle. Scan the battlefield, search for perfect positioning, then before unleash attacks and abilities, in fast-paced combat where quick decision-making is key to survival.
