What's new

A new Tsugunohi is here: The Thread That Beckons to Heaven

2026-08-25

The latest entry in the Tsugunohi series, Tsugunohi -The Thread That Beckons to Heaven-, is now available on Steam. This new title returns to the visual style and atmosphere of the early Tsugunohi games included in this collection. The series' core remains the same: simply press "←" and keep walking. This time, however, the game also introduces a chapter-based story structure and a final choice at the end of the journey. Returning to its roots while taking a slightly different path, this is a new Tsugunohi. We hope you'll give it a try. The game is currently available at a 15% launch discount. ▼Tsugunohi -The Thread That Beckons to Heaven-

As all you need to do is press one button to walk left, you might as well watch it entirely on YouTube and lose nothing from the...

Tsugunohi is an unusual Japanese psychological horror experience that demonstrates how a remarkably limited control scheme can still create substantial tension. Developed by ImCyan and published by Vaka Game Magazine, the game revolves around an almost comically straightforward action: moving toward the left. Instead of relying on combat, elaborate puzzles, inventory management, or large environments, it places the...
