Eastasiasoft is working on a physical release of Kwaidan: Azuma Manor Story for Switch, the company announced today.

The game will be available as a standard version and Limited Edition. The latter includes the game, manual, soundtrack CD, and numbered certificate in a collector’s box.

Kwaidan: Azuma Manor Story, a horror-themed action-adventure game, first appeared on the Switch eShop in August 2020. Read more about it below.

t is the dawn of the Showa era, Japan in the 1930s. In a rural manor, a very long night is about to begin. Explore the depths of the Azuma Manor, fighting off devilish Yoki while avoiding traps and solving devious puzzles as you strive to save the Azuma family. Kwaidan mixes classic 3D horror action with point-and-click adventure for an experience that’s equal parts fresh and nostalgic. With no guns, strategy is required to take on the Yoki in close encounters using traditional weapons and exorcism tools such as naginata, magatama and a mirror that releases a deadly aura.
As you explore the grounds of the mansion, you can call up a cursor to examine points of interest and discover items to aid you in your quest. Kwaidan is a unique blend of action-adventure with suspenseful survival scenarios. Retro polygon graphics invoke the style of genre classics with movie reel presentation. Select between Origin Mode for authentic “tank” controls or Modern Mode for standard analog movement and a new subtle cel-shaded look.
