Death Momotaro, a horror-comedy action game by indie creator Hirashaka, is scheduled for release on September 25, 2026. Based on the Japanese folktale "Momotaro," the protagonist will embark on an adventure across four chapters.
The game adds the prefix "Death" to many characters and items from the story. As described on the Steam store page, Chapter 1 requires dodging the cleaver of "Death Grandpa" to reach the goal; Chapter 2 involves using landmines to stop "Death Dog.exe," "Death Monkey," and "Death Pheasant," then feeding them "Death Millet Dumplings."
Chapter 3 takes place on "Death Onigashima," where players use firearms to defeat demons. According to the store page, the game can be completed in about an hour.
The game consists of four chapters, with the specific content of Chapter 4 yet to be revealed.
