Revenant of Tsushima | A Japanese Folklore Horror Adventure Built in Unreal Engine 5

Hey everyone!
I’m Shiko, founder of Aurora Studio, an independent game development team based in Hong Kong. I’d love to introduce our original project, Revenant of Tsushima (津島・魂鬼), a first-person supernatural horror adventure inspired by Japanese folklore, set along the historic Tōkaidō during the Edo period.

About the Game
Players follow Tsushima Mewa, a young shrine maiden, on a mysterious journey through haunted shrines, traditional Japanese post towns, and supernatural encounters inspired by Japanese mythology.
Instead of focusing entirely on combat or jump scares, we’re exploring a different approach to horror: investigating spirits, uncovering forgotten stories, and interacting with the supernatural world through exploration and rituals.

Key Features

  • Japanese Folklore Horror: Explore traditional shrines, Edo-period environments, and mysterious locations.
  • Ether Sight: Reveal hidden spiritual traces and investigate supernatural phenomena.
  • Spirit Encounters & Purification: Discover the stories behind restless spirits through investigation and ritual-based interactions.
  • Atmospheric Exploration: Journey through historic Japanese post towns, mountain paths, and haunted landscapes.
  • Unreal Engine 5: Bringing Japanese folklore and atmospheric environments to life.

Development Progress
Our team previously worked on the commercially released Steam DLC OMSI 2: Project Numazu. With Revenant of Tsushima, we’re taking our next step toward developing an original IP.

We’re excited to share our progress and connect with fellow indie developers!
