About Project Scissors

The game’s setting is aboard a luxurious cruise line in the middle of the ocean. As the ship sails across the deep blue ocean, a series of gruesome and mysterious murders begins to take place, including the crew of the ship – soon the ocean liner is crippled and adrift in the sea, and it has become an inescapable trap for all passengers. As a passenger of the ship, the player will be given task with solving the murder mystery to ensure the very survival of oneself as well as the rest of the ‘innocent’ passengers.

Official Words by Hifumi Kouno, Game Director / CEO & President of Nude Maker Inc.

When conceiving the idea for a new horror game, I focused on staying true to the essence of what I created in “Clock Tower,” which was the edge-of-the-seat suspense and fear of an unknown. I have been preparing for this game for over 5 years – and now the development is finally about to begin. Over the last few years, I was joined by a wonderful group of creators with impressive resume, driven by the common passion to create something original outside the big commercial game franchises. This is my first foray into the “Indie” scene, but the nature of the horror genre in its purest form is about overcoming obstacles such as limited budget and time with passion and talent. I’m willing to push myself to the limit, and I’m excited and ready for this challenge.
