and was bitten to death

The official Japanese name of 'Death Bite' is '死噛 ~シビトマギレ~', and the overseas version is titled 'Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II'. Kazuo Yashiki is invited to investigate Konoehara Academy's disappearance and death threats, tracing down the person who claims to be 'Shibito.'

Konoehara Academy

The setting is H City, Tokyo. The school keeps receiving missing and death notices of students, and strange rumors revolve around 'Hanako' and 'Shibito.' Kazuo Yafu once dealt with spiritual matters and was called a strange doctor by magazines; Principal Seizo Konoe invites him to investigate the school.

Survey collaborators

Moe Watanabe is a high school student who does part-time interviews for Monthly AUTOPARTS; Idol Ai Kashiwagi, doctor Shuji Daimon, researcher Madoka Hiroo, and police officer Satoru Mashita each have distinct abilities. Eita Nakamatsu is familiar with computers and subculture, while Sho Nagashima fears ghosts but values friendship.

Teachers and students at school

Himeko Doryo served as student council president, and Michiho Kinukawa as vice president; Sakamoto Ritsu was responsible for teaching discipline. Naomi Horikoshi, Toshihiko Izumi, Haruaki Abe, Saki Maruhashi, and Shinichi Kakuta come from different grades and clubs, each involved in the school survey. What the characters know and what they hide forms an important part of the reasoning.

Explore and walk together

Inter-site movement uses side-view exploration, while detailed investigations shift to first-person observation. Players choose companions to search for clues together. The abilities and weaknesses of companions affect the success rate of critical actions, so not all companions should be considered companions with equal abilities.

サスペンシブアクト

Tense events are presented through action choices, and the intelligence gathered from choices and investigations, along with companions, can jointly influence whether they can cope with danger. This system integrates scene exploration, allowing ghost investigations to include failable operations and require judgments beyond character dialogue.

Characters and bizarre art

Fumiya Junsho was responsible for character design, Akifumi Yamamoto and Rokutaku Sakamoto participated in the weird design, and Kazuhiro Ooya handled the horror illustrations. Director Motoya Ataka and producer Gen Senzu participated in the production, with EXPERIENCE continuing the Spirit Hunter series.

The Japanese PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions were released on December 1, 2022. The Steam version published by Aksys was released on February 15, 2024, featuring the credited EXPERIENCE and Ghostlight LTD, offering English and Japanese text and Japanese voice acting.

Series soundtrack

"Shinrei Horror Sound Complete Collection" was released on February 1, 2023. The two CDs contain a total of 45 tracks, including game music and songs from the three series titles, as well as the theme song for the sound drama "Death Mark ~Aoki End~"; The sound script section is not included.

The planning and structure of the sequel

The team weaves together each chapter of suspense with strange phenomena lurking around them. The producers regarded the enthusiasm of series players as a key reason for launching the official sequel.

The first horror design by a bizarre artist

In an interview published in March 2026, Akifumi Yamamoto recalled that Hanako from the Toilet was the first character he created when he first appeared in a horror work. During the drawing process, Yamamoto repeatedly examines whether this image still evokes a sense of horror.
