Long description

Black Omens: Shores of Ashen Tides is a first-person survival horror game set in fictional late Edo-period Japan. Former reconnaissance officer Idate Kōhei travels to the isolated coastal settlement of Nagisa after his wife, Tachibana Shunka, disappears while investigating cult activity.

Nagisa is dominated by the Cult of Shiobo-gami, whose worship centres on the Mother of the Tides. What begins as a rescue mission becomes an investigation into ritual sacrifice, supernatural corruption and a centuries-old covenant between the village and the sea.

Kōhei is trained, but never safe. Deliberate katana combat, a powerful but slow-loading flintlock and limited tactical tools demand careful judgement. Players explore interconnected environments, examine relics and abandoned belongings, and solve environmental and ritual-related puzzles. Every confrontation carries a cost.

Developed by Revo Interactive Studios, a division of Revotrend Sdn. Bhd., the game tells a standalone story within the wider Black Omens universe, with franchise elements used under licence from Nimbus Games Sdn. Bhd. The approximately eight-hour target campaign is in development for PC. Target Release: 2028.
