Shueisha Games has revealed new details about UN:Me, an upcoming psychological horror adventure centered on four souls trapped inside the body of a young girl. New information presented around gamescom 2026 highlights the game’s unusual soul-selection system, shifting character abilities and unsettling environments ahead of its planned 2026 release.
UN:Me Asks Players to Identify the Body’s True Soul
Developed by historia and published by Shueisha Games, UN:Me is described as a “soul-triage adventure” in which players must determine which of four souls is the legitimate owner of a single body.
At the beginning of the story, all four souls have lost their memories. Despite that uncertainty, each believes she is the body’s rightful owner.
Players explore the game’s unstable world to locate Memory Fragments, which unlock new questions that can be asked during conversations with the souls.
As more memories emerge, players must examine the personalities and histories of the four characters before eventually deciding which soul should remain and which should be “erased.”
Different Souls Can Suddenly Take Control
Exploration becomes more complicated because players do not always control which soul occupies the body.
Individual souls can unexpectedly take over, changing the character’s behavior as well as the player’s available abilities.
Each soul has different traumas and skills. Those differences can alter environmental threats, available actions and even which areas of the game’s labyrinth can be reached.
Soul I and Soul III Receive New Details
Shueisha Games provided additional information about two of the four personalities.
Soul I is highly emotional and tends to say exactly what she is thinking. Her speech and behavior resemble the age she claims to be, while her mood can shift sharply.
Soul III presents a significant contrast. She is thoughtful and deliberate, speaks softly and politely, and maintains a distant personality. She rarely makes eye contact and frequently appears aloof.
Changes between souls also affect the girl’s manner of speaking and attitude, giving players behavioral clues that may help them uncover each character’s identity.
A Hospital Becomes a Labyrinth of the Mind
One of UN:Me’s primary environments initially resembles an ordinary municipal hospital.
As players travel deeper into the building, however, its surroundings become increasingly surreal.
The hospital includes nurses displaying unnatural smiles and patients with flowers in place of their heads, reinforcing the psychological horror elements behind the game’s central mystery.
The environment functions as more than a backdrop. Players must navigate the shifting labyrinth while searching for Memory Fragments and dealing with the individual traumas associated with each soul.
Dialogue Plays a Central Role in the Mystery
Rather than relying exclusively on conventional horror mechanics, UN:Me makes conversations an important part of progression.
Information recovered through exploration gives players additional opportunities to question the four souls. Their answers gradually provide clues about their identities and past experiences.
The ultimate objective is to identify the body’s true owner, meaning player judgment will play a significant role in determining which soul survives.
