Kazutaka Kodakateased on Twitteron December 8 he’ll be announcing one of his new games this December 9. The announcement turned out to be forDeath Come True, an action-adventure full motion game. As in, the game uses real actresses and actors. Kazutaka Kodaka, the creator of theDanganronpaseries, is writing and directingDeath Come True.
A teaser official site forDeath Come Truewas opened, and more information such as the game’s cast, price, platforms, and a teaser trailer will be sporadically revealed there. For now, the teaser site has a countdown ending on December 10, and we’ll learn about the main cast then.An official Twitter account was opened too.
Death Come Trueis described with the phrases: “Is this a movie, or a game?” and “the story evolves with your choices”, meaning it’ll have meaningful choices and multiple routes, like most visual novels/adventure games. The choice to go for live-action is also pretty interesting and makes me think of how Kodaka seems to be one of those developerslike Kojima who wish to merge games and movies together.
In his teasing tweet we linked beforehand, Kazutaka Kodaka also mentionedDeath Come Trueis a game in which he put “tons of feelings”, so I’m personally looking forward to hearing more.
