Is the Disgaea team making a horror game?
Disgaea developer Nippon Ichi is teasing something a bit creepy.
The live action video below was added to Nippon Ichi's YouTube channel and labelled "new title".
You may have spotted something a bit unsettling at 0:37. And what's up with that chair?
The voice at the end, presumably that of the person carrying the torch, says, roughly, "Sister ... come home?"
It leaves us with many more questions than answers. Despite my headline, it's entirely possible this is being developed by another studio; Nippon Ichi is a publisher as well as a developer. And, of course, the teaser may have no resemblance to whatever project is being teased, because Nippon Ichi is a bit oddball sometimes.
I would play the heck out of this game though, of course, because I enjoy crying and hiding under the desk in terror. There have been no updates to NIS America's channel, so we'll await further developments.
Update: According to Kotaku's translation of Japanese reports, it is a horror game. It's called Yomawari (Nightwatch), and is headed to Vita.
