Spirit Hunter: Death Mark Chapter 7 Kaerazu's Amusement Park DLC

Many years after the game first launched, Spirit Hunter: Death Mark just received brand new DLC with Chapter 7 Kaerazu’s Amusement Park. After buying the new content, players will need to install a version 1.02 update.

The DLC offers a different perspective on events from the original Spirit Hunter horror visual novel. We first saw the game in 2018, meaning the DLC comes around seven years later.
