The Spiriting Away of Saooni Village is 072 Project’s latest short-form erotic horror RPG, blending a creepy festival village, escape-driven exploration, and multi-stage H scenes into a tighter adventure format. Instead of leaning on static event CGs alone, the game pushes a heavier Live2D presentation, letting the tension and erotic payoff escalate together as the story closes in on its hidden truth.
Release Overview
The game is heading to Steam with Traditional Chinese support. For players who like compact horror nukige with actual exploration and pressure in the gameplay loop, this one is positioned as a shorter but more concentrated experience. The Steam version is the storefront release, but players looking for the full uncensored package will still need the official patch afterward.
Story Setup
The story follows Mako and Akane, two members of a school newspaper club facing the threat of shutdown. In an attempt to bring in fresh material, they travel to Saooni Village, a place rumored to swallow up travelers without a trace. What starts as a field assignment quickly turns into a nightmare: the villagers act increasingly suspicious, the festival atmosphere turns oppressive, and the girls realize they are trapped inside a place built around sacrifice rather than worship.
Gameplay and Presentation
Even though it is a shorter RPG, The Spiriting Away of Saooni Village is not just a story reader with erotic scenes attached. You still move through the village, investigate the environment, avoid danger, and deal with status changes that push the heroines toward more dangerous outcomes. That mix of light horror adventure and escalating adult content is where the game seems to aim its appeal.

Steam Version and Patch Notes
One important detail is that the Steam release is the all-ages version, which means substantial cuts are in place. 072 Project is also providing a free patch through its official site, and players who want the full event set will need to use that patch. In practice, the Steam release works as the main client while the publisher patch restores the full intended adult content.
