Set against the backdrop of a distorted Shibuya—where supernatural anomalies have begun bleeding into reality—the story follows two dual protagonists. Both harbor these very anomalies within themselves as they embark on a dark quest to uncover the truth behind the city's eerie phenomena.
Story
Tokyo has collapsed. In a city where reality itself is eroding, grotesque entities known as “Aberrations” roam the ruined streets.
While working as a simple delivery boy, Souma Hoshigami is brutally attacked by an Aberration—leaving him in a fractured, ‘Half-turned’ state where man and monster fuse into one. He is rescued and taken into custody not as a citizen, but as ‘lost property’ by Rena Hizuki, a lethal investigator from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s Public Safety Department, Foreign Affairs Fifth Division (commonly known as the Public Safety Mutation Response Division).
Step into the shoes of Rena and Souma in a world choking on reality-shattering contamination.
Track down “Tiny True,” the demonic narcotic flooding the streets. Uncover the truth behind “Stigmas,” the cursed body-carved glyphs infecting the youth. Expose the mysterious cult pulling the strings from the shadows. Engage in fast-paced, hyper-stylish combat to slice through terrifying foes and unravel the mystery of a world tearing at the seams.
What is happening now
Qliphah in Providence's Shadow is a tactical RPG platformer arriving September 24, 2026, across PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. Set in post-collapse Tokyo, the game tasks players with confronting reality-warping entities called Anomali that are eroding the world. Arc System Works and UnitePlus have detailed the combat mechanics recently, which revolve around timeline counters alongside buddy attacks, secret arts, and mystic passes - systems that appear central to the tactical layer. The publisher has also released pre-order materials ahead of launch, giving players an early look at what to expect from the title.
