Spooky Tactics RPG Demonschool Announces September 3 Release During Nintendo Indie World Japan

Class starts on PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and PC

OAKLAND, CA — August 07, 2025 — Demonschool, the school-life tactics RPG with hints of Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, and Italian horror cinema from developer Necrosoft Games and publisher Ysbryd Games (WORLD OF HORROR, VA-11 HALL-A), closes the breach between worlds on PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and Windows PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on Wednesday, September 3, as seen during today’s Nintendo Indie World Japan.

Join college freshman Faye, descended from a demon-hunting family lineage, as she discovers creatures she’d only seen in ancient tomes, now haunting an enigmatic island university. Survive a semester like no other by making friends, forging relationships, and battling gruesome monsters inspired by ‘60s and ‘70s Italian horror cinema and Japanese horror manga on a chess-like board where movement equals action.

Bring together an unstoppable battle party from hundreds of combinations among 15 playable characters, selecting between Faye’s unbridled kicks, Namako’s debuffs, Destin’s short-shorts-fueled knockbacks, and more to create the perfect group for each combat situation. Boost their distinct skills and abilities by scheduling them for training and accepting their side quests outside of class hours. Cultivate bonds between every pair to compose powerful combos in battle.

In a realm where 2D and 3D collide, encounter and fight the demon world’s worst beasts and bosses, from gory crawling hellspawn to giant skeletons and stacks of televisions. Strategically choose each party member’s path in the Planning phase with unlimited rewinds to perfect each turn, then watch every punch, heal, and combo play out simultaneously in the Action phase.

“At long last, Demonschool is finally coming out. It's been a long road but we're through certification and ready to go,” said Brandon Sheffield, Creative Director at Necrosoft Games. “We really put a lot of ourselves into this thing and now the future of Demonschool is in your hands. We truly hope you will enjoy it."

Demonschool heads to class on PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and Windows PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, with English, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese language support.
