Today Izanagi Games released another trailer of its upcoming escape game/bullet hell shoot ’em up hybrid Yurukill: The Calumniation Games.
The trailer introduces Binko, who appears to be basically this game’s version of Monokuma.
She is voiced by Yuu Kobayashi, well known for voicing Luka Urushibara in Steins;Gate, Lucina in Fire Emblem Fates, Darli Dagger in Samurai Shodown, Katsuragi in the Senran Kagura series, and many more.
This follows previous trailers that introduced the hero, Sengoku Shunju and the heroine, Rina Azami.
The game is written by Homura Kawamoto, whom you may know for creating Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler, and by his younger brother, Hikaru Muno.
You can check out the trailer below, alongside an official description for the character. Incidentally, you can activate English subtitles with the CC button.
“Age: Unknown Birthday: Unknown Star sign: Unknown
Blood type: Unknown
Likes: Things that get her bin-binned up
Dislikes: Things that don’t put the bin in bin-bin
Interests: Playing the “Pocky Game”Binko is Yurukill Land’s kimono-clad, mask-wearing guide. She is polite, and old-fashioned in her speech, yet when dealing with the Prisoners, she’s sharp-tongued and quick to ridicule. Variations of the phrase, “bin-bin,” are her trademark. Under the auspices of Yurukill Inc., she oversees the games offering the Prisoners a chance for acquittal at Yurukill Land.”
Yurukill: The Calumniation Games will release in the spring of 2022 for PS5, PS4, PC via Steam, and Switch.
Here’s how the publisher officially describes it.
“Sengoku Shunju wakes up in his prison cell.
A woman wearing a fox mask introduces herself as Binko, and says: “Sengoku Shunju, you are a criminal sentenced to years in prison, you’ve been offered the chance to gain your freedom.
You must survive the various ‘attractions’ in a certain ‘amusement park.’ If you succeed, your crimes will be pardoned.”
“No, you’ve got it all wrong, I’ve been falsely accused! I’m innocent!”
The victim of one of his alleged crimes appears. Her name is Rina Azami.“Sengoku Shunju. A name I will never forget. You killed my entire family. For that, I will never forgive you.”
Sengoku is in prison, charged with arson and murder—for burning to death 21 people, including Rina’s family.
Naturally, the victim does not believe a word of Sengoku’s claims of innocence.
Besides Sengoku are four other groups of criminals and their respective victims.The accused criminals are called “Prisoners,” and the victims “Executioners.” Criminals and victims must pair up to face the amusement park’s attractions.
There are a total of six criminals and five victims. There are five teams: Mass Murderers, Death Dealing Duo, Crafty Killers, Sly Stalkers, and Peeping Toms.
The Prisoners hope to overcome the challenges so that they may be pardoned.Should the Executioners win, their wishes will be granted. At long last they will be able to avenge their loved ones.
The challenges take place in a secluded amusement park called “Yurukill Land.”
All manner of secrets will be unearthed as the teams face each attraction.
Who will survive the cruel, twisted place that is Yurukill Land?”
