Imabikisou demo available on the Japanese PSN

It seems that Imabikisou, which suddenly appeared a few months ago in a copy of Famitsu, is almost to the point of being released in Japan. Who knew? Even more surprising is the fact that a demo has been plonked onto the Japanese PSN sometime within the last 24 hours. The 903 megabyte sneak peek is the first playable content of the game that we've seen. While it was at the show floor at Tokyo Game Show, there simply wasn't enough time for us to check it out. The game had quite long queues and, as a consequence, will probably do quite well over in Japan.

We're doubtful that we'll see the game released in any English speaking territories, but if you fancy seeing what it's like then go download the demo from the Japanese PSN Store. Sure it might be difficult to understand, but there are still pictures and sounds, right? Depending on whether we can decipher the demo for ourselves, we may be putting up some impressions of the game later on.

Cool, I saw the trailer for this on the Jp PS Store a few weeks ago. I can't understand a lick of Japanese, but I'll check it out anyway.

i might not be able to sleep if I play this game, so I shall take a pass on it. Pretty cool concept of a game if you like the genre tho.

Good job, and yeah, probably will never see this game leaving the island.

a bunch of pictures and text, how much dev time could it possibly need. besides, I think this is a port of a DVD game.

Big bucket-o-wtf on this one, it's not much more than a slideshow with spooky noises and a load of kanji I can't read.

I haven't watched all 3 slots yet though.

It does seem unlikely to get a western release... ooh! It just offered me a choice, that's almost some gameplay! Although the view is of a girls chest, so I'm assuming the options were "Stare at boobies some more" and "Stop staring at boobies now", she just said something breathy, possibly "You like staring at my boobies don't you?"... now I'm staring at soup.. THE SOUP IS STARING BACK!

EYEBALLING SPOON
SOUP
EYEBALL
BIGGER EYEBALL

I think he swallowed the soup.

Now he's home and he seems troubled, possibly by the boobies, or the soup, or the spoon, or all three.

EYEBALL
BIGGER EYEBALL
EAR
BIGGEST EYEBALL YET
EAR AGAIN
EYE
EAR
EYE

A shadow crosses the face and the eyeball. A croaky girl's voice. An empty bed, a phone on vibrate... ooh, another choice, I'll choose A again, as the boob staring worked out pretty well, I think. It seems option A is to check the phone. It's a text message, apparently, and then it's the trailer again.

It's all too exciting!
