AMATA Games' choice-driven visual novel arrives on Steam September 30, with a new YAMIKUMO collaboration video ahead of launch.

AMATA Games' short horror visual novel Shinjuku Anomaly is due on Steam on September 30 at 10 a.m. Japan time. That is 2 a.m. BST for UK readers. The publisher's release notice lists PC as the launch platform, with Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese support. Players investigate unsettling

scenes in Shinjuku, choosing how to respond to anomalies as the story branches toward multiple endings. AMATA also names “Hyakkiyakou” by YAMIKUMO as the theme song and has released a collaboration lyric video featuring the group inside the game's setting. The Steam page is the place to check local availability and

current pricing at launch. This is a compact, story-led release rather than a large open-world horror game. Its new music collaboration offers a closer look at the atmosphere before players decide whether the premise suits them.
