TENMA

TENMA is a 2D top-down stealth horror set in a procedurally generated maze that changes every run.

You have no weapons. Your only tools are hiding, fleeing, and outwitting the Tenma.

Raise all the wards to seal the Tenma and clear the stage — but the more you seal, the more savage it becomes.

[Features]

- Procedurally generated dungeon; no memorized route works

- Ward system: seal the Tenma to escape

- Slab pallets, doors and hatches to stall and lose your pursuer

- Draw Slab Skills each run for a different build

- Your only guide is your heartbeat and the faintest presence

[About this release]

We're a creative label — music is what we usually make. TENMA is our first game, and our first time on itch.io.

The official launch is August 10, 2026 on BOOTH in Japan. But showing up here for the first time with a price tag felt wrong — so on itch, the full game is free. Call it a hello.

Japanese and English supported.

Developed by Virtual Index — based on the concept of its "Tenma" VTuber (half angel, half demon), the very idea that became this game.
