<p><strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/oninaki">Oninaki</a></strong> was one of the new titles announced during last week’s Nintendo Direct, and has been the beneficiary of some significant coverage in this week’s issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu.</p>
<p>Published by Square Enix and developed by Tokyo RPG Factory, Oninaki is being described as an “intensely shocking title” and is currently around 65% complete; a release is expected this summer.</p>
<p>However, rather more interesting is the news that Takashi Tokita – who served as director and scenario writer on the SNES titles <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/snes/chrono_trigger">Chrono Trigger</a></strong> and <strong>Live A Live</strong> – is working on the game as creative producer. Tokita also directed <strong>Parasite Eve</strong> on the Sony PlayStation, and more recently was director and scenario writer on <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/ds/final_fantasy_the_4_heroes_of_light">Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light</a></strong>.</p>
<p>The scenario is in the hands of Hirotaka Inaba, who also performed the same role on Tokyo RPG Factory’s previous titles, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/i_am_setsuna">I Am Setsuna</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/lost_sphear">Lost Sphear</a></strong>. Atsushi Hashimoto (I Am Setsuna) is installed as director, while Ryutaro Sasaki is acting as producer.</p>
