Revo Interactive Studios presents
The tide gives.
The tide takes.
A first-person survival horror game
set in late Edo-period Japan.
01 / Beyond the shoreline
Black Omens: Shores of Ashen Tides is a first-person survival horror game set in a fictional coastal settlement during late Edo-period Japan.
Take the role of Idate Kōhei, a former reconnaissance officer searching for his missing wife in Nagisa Village — an isolated community consumed by ritual, fanaticism and something ancient beneath the sea.
Fight only when necessary. Investigate what remains. Survive long enough to learn why the village has surrendered itself to the Mother of the Tides.
02 / Capable. Never safe.
You know how to fight.
That may not be enough.
Kōhei is trained.
He is armed.
He is still human.
Every confrontation carries a cost. Ammunition is scarce, enemies are lethal and even a successful fight may leave you less prepared for what comes next.
03 / The player experience
Timing. Spacing. Commitment. Deliberate katana combat rewards judgement, but every close encounter exposes you to lethal danger.
Ammunition, healing items and equipment are limited. Spend what you need to survive now, or conserve it for what waits ahead.
Weathered streets, coastal shrines, sea caves and abandoned buildings hold the traces of a village surrendered to the tide.
Piece together accounts, relics and ritual objects. The truth emerges through the people, places and supernatural events you encounter.
04 / A covenant with the sea
Nagisa was once a prosperous fishing settlement isolated between steep cliffs and unforgiving water.
Generations came to believe their survival was not owed to nature, but to an ancient presence beneath the tides.
What began as gratitude became doctrine.
What became doctrine eventually demanded sacrifice.
05 / The faith beneath the water
Mother of the Tides
The cult’s oldest stories tell of a mother who walked into the sea during famine so her village might live.
The next morning the waters returned full of fish.
The villagers believed she had not died.
She had become the sea.
To her followers, Shiobo-gami represents nourishment and oblivion — the tide that gives and the tide that takes back.
06 / Bound by more than blood
Main protagonist / 伊達 黄平
A disciplined military scout whose strengths lie in observation, survival and battlefield judgement rather than overwhelming strength.
When Shunka disappears while investigating cult activity around Nagisa, Kōhei follows.
His training prepared him for human enemies.
Nagisa is something else.
Supporting protagonist / 立花 瞬花
Shunka is an experienced investigator with an unusual sensitivity to the thoughts and presence of others.
Her disappearance brings Kōhei to Nagisa, but her connection to the village runs deeper than either of them understands.
07 / You are not alone
They are not mindless fanatics. They are disciplined believers protecting rituals they believe are necessary for the survival of their community.
Generations offered to the sea do not always remain beneath it.
Victims of ritual sacrifice have returned from the sea corrupted.
08 / An interconnected horror universe
Black Omens is an interconnected anthology of supernatural investigations, family tragedies and occult events spanning different periods of Japanese history.
Each title stands alone while revealing another part of a larger history.
