PlayStation Japan teasing new Vita game ‘Shiin’ – Third-party title

The Japanese official PlayStation YouTube account has uploaded a new video, called “Shiin” (Death Mark), for a mysterious new PS Vita title.

It should be noted that this teaser is for a third-party game title , not one produced directly by Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia, reports from 4Gamer.net, shows the Shiin.jp domain is registered to a “Hajime Chikami,” which is the name of dungeon RPG developer Experience’s president and CEO.

There is also a website, The site contains what appears to be the project’s title in Kanju (with a transliteration in Hiragana) beating as a heart would on top of the page, with a cityscape shown in the background. Below that is a video teaser, which splices together live-action clips of a clock, red markings, a black bunny rabbit with red eyes, a ghostly figure, and a candle being blown out. A female voice ends the teaser with a formal greeting that would be given to a guest by a maid.

Upon further inspection on the video’s official description on YouTube, the text reads “Tsurushi, countdown to the death” and “PS Vita compatible software ‘Shiin.’”

This appears to be some kind of play on words, as “Tsurushi,” which could indicate a 17th century Japanese reverse hanging torture method, writes almost identically (changing シ with ツ) as “Shirushi” which is the reading of the second kanji of the title, and means “Mark.”

In Japanese, “shiin” can imply silence, as in “shush” in English. Another meaning is cause of death

Check out the Trailer:

“The release date is unknown and only this short video published about the game and the teaser website opened next to it.

In the video you can see a black rabbit sitting on a chair and a clock behind it than some dizzy picture about a man and another room. But only for a few seconds.”
