Prior to the collaboration’s announcement, the game’s staff posted a short interview with (and gameplay of) Ito on Tuesday. The creator said, “It was very moving to see that they had become even more terrifying characters after leaving my hands.” Ito then commented on the player cosmetics based on characters from his stories before playing the game.
