Psychological horror adventure UN:Me will receive its first publicly playable demo in Japan at Tokyo Game Show 2026, publisher Shueisha Games and developer historia Inc. announced. The companies also confirmed that the story-driven title has moved to 2027 as the development team spends additional time refining its motion-capture performances.
UN:Me Demo Heads to Tokyo Game Show 2026
Tokyo Game Show attendees can play UN:Me at the Shueisha Games booth, 05-C10, in the General Exhibition Area in Hall 5.
The showcase marks the first time Japanese players will be able to publicly experience the game and hear all four souls occupying its central character argue their cases.
UN:Me follows a girl who awakens inside a disturbing mental labyrinth with four deceased human souls inhabiting her body. Each soul has its own personality, desires and belief that it is the body’s rightful occupant.
Control can shift between the personalities without warning, changing the girl’s behavior, abilities and the threats pursuing her.
Players Must Decide Which Soul Survives
Progress involves speaking with the four souls and confronting the trauma keeping each of them trapped.
At the center of the narrative is a consequential choice summarized by the developers with the question: “Which soul will you erase so one can survive?”
The game is structured as a single-player, story-rich psychological horror adventure with multiple endings.
Behavior May Reveal More Than Dialogue
Identifying the personalities is intended to involve more than simply listening to what each one says.
According to the developers, players will need to observe subtle physical details such as posture, facial expressions, glances and hesitation. Those behaviors may provide clues about which soul is currently controlling the girl’s body.
That concept has become a major focus of the game’s motion-capture work.
UN:Me Delayed to 2027 for Motion-Capture Refinements
UN:Me had previously been planned for 2026 but will now arrive sometime in 2027 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
A specific release date has not been announced.
Historiа said the additional development time will be used to improve the physical performances of the four souls. Each personality is being given distinctive movements and nuanced facial expressions to help players recognize differences despite all four inhabiting the same character.
The developers describe the central idea simply: “Four souls wear the same face. Learn to discern which is which.”
Soul II and Soul IV Receive New Details
The Tokyo Game Show announcement also provides additional information about two of the four personalities.
Soul II Is Outgoing but Difficult to Read
Soul II is described as more outgoing than the other personalities and relatively willing to answer questions.
Her speech is casual and nonchalant, while she frequently smiles. However, the developers caution that her expressions should not necessarily be treated as evidence of her intentions.
Soul IV Responds With Aggression
Soul IV has a more confrontational personality and can quickly become angry depending on what the player says.
Her speech is described as rough and abrasive, while her expressions frequently show distrust through glaring and other hostile reactions.
The game emphasizes that these visible characteristics alone do not establish which soul is telling the truth.
Yumiri Hanamori Voices All Four Souls
Japanese voice actress Yumiri Hanamori performs the girl and all four personalities.
Rather than differentiating the characters only through changes in vocal pitch or register, Hanamori performs each soul as an individual personality.
Her previous credits include Nadeshiko Kagamihara in Laid-Back Camp, Ai Hayasaka in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Sagiri Yamada Asaemon in Hell’s Paradise, Shizue Izawa in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, and Mercedes in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
UN:Me Coming to PC, PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2
Developed by Tokyo-based historia Inc. and published by Shueisha Games, UN:Me will support English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, with full Japanese voice acting.
The game contains mild violence and horror and is designed as a single-player experience.
With its Tokyo Game Show demo offering the first public Japanese hands-on opportunity, UN:Me is moving toward a 2027 launch while historia continues refining the performances central to its four-soul mystery.
