Game Description

Depersonalization June 2025 Localization Update - Press Release

Lovecraftian RPG “Depersonalization’’ Reemerges with Complete English Overhaul and New Development Roadmap

June 2025 – MeowNature Studio has announced the full English localization overhaul of Depersonalization, its narrative-driven Lovecraftian RPG inspired by tabletop games like Call of Cthulhu. Initially, the game struggled to gain traction in Western markets due to translation issues. Now, after months of work with a professional localization team, Depersonalization is ready to deliver its complete horror experience to English-speaking players.

The update includes the retranslation of all current story modules, totaling more than 450,000 words. This includes the flagship scenarios All-in-One and One-in-All, Lies and Frauds, Soladnit, and Cursenday’s Black Carnival. The game’s custom module editor and tutorials have also been localized, allowing English-speaking players to create and share their own adventures.

“As developers of a narrative-driven game, we understand that poor localization deeply affected how our story was received,” said a MeowNature Studio spokesperson. “This complete overhaul was our response to the community’s feedback—we want players to experience Depersonalization as it was always intended: immersive, emotional, and unsettling.”

A Second Chance for a Cult Horror RPG

Depersonalization blends anime-style visuals with a modular RPG format. Players take on the role of the Star Key, a creation of Yog-Sothoth, traveling through fragmented timelines to uncover cosmic mysteries. Each module offers a standalone horror scenario featuring dice-based mechanics, sanity systems, and multiple endings. With the new English localization, these complex narratives can now be fully appreciated by a global audience.

To improve transparency and community engagement, the studio has launched a new Monthly Report series. In its latest update, MeowNature detailed several upcoming developments:

• Online Multiplayer Expansion – The studio is expanding its limited multiplayer test into a fully-fledged TRPG-style cooperative mode, with a focus on collaborative narrative gameplay.

• New Module Reveal – A dedicated multiplayer scenario titled London: Core of Steam is in development in collaboration with designer FogCoffee. Set in gaslit Victorian-era London, it introduces new horrors inspired by Cthulhu mythos.

• Spine-Based Skeletal Animation Integration – The team is transitioning from frame-by-frame animation to a skeletal animation system powered by Spine, allowing for more expressive characters, improved performance, and greater customization support.

• UI and Accessibility Improvements – Inventory and text readability have been improved based on player feedback, with additional enhancements planned.

About the Game

Depersonalization is a dark-fantasy RPG featuring modular scenarios, stat-based character creation, and dice-driven decision-making. Influenced by TTRPGs and cosmic horror, the game merges existential dread with visual novel storytelling and anime-style aesthetics. Players can explore a variety of self-contained modules, shape their character’s path, and navigate psychologically intense branching narratives.

The game is available now in on Steam. The full English localization update is live, with additional content and improvements in development.

"Depersonalization" is a role-playing game based on the Cthulhu Mythos.

•   In the game, you will find yourself in a timeless library beyond the river of time. As the creation of Yog-Sothoth and the embodiment of Her will—the Star Key, you will cross the Gate on Her behalf to various worlds to mend shattered timelines.
•   Currently, the game has successfully launched 4 exploration modules, 1 text module, 1 rules module, and the highly anticipated large module "Cursenday's Black Carnival", with a total game text volume accumulated to 450,000 words.

•  Moreover, the game's main interface features a creation mode, allowing players to use the editor to create and publish original modules.

This is a game that captures the essence of the Cthulhu Mythos and tabletop role-playing.

•  In each module, you will play as an investigator, collecting clues, rolling dice for success in checks, triggering events, and gradually approaching (or distancing yourself from) the truth of the story. If you are a novice player, "Depersonalization" can help you quickly familiarize yourself with the tabletop role-playing process and experience the unique joy of randomness.
•  Our story draws inspiration from the Cthulhu Mythos, which may be bizarre, thrilling, and intriguing, but it is not solely designed to bring about fear.

To uncover the truth, sometimes perhaps... any means are justified?

•  You can bribe, steal, trade, or appease the characters in the story, and the different actions you take will lead the story to different directions.
•  Why must victory be achieved through combat? Try stealth, delivering a fatal blow to the target, or using intimidation to make the target flee.
•   If you learn some forbidden knowledge, magic will be the key to defeating your enemies.(But there might be additional side effects (lmao), so use it cautiously!)

This is a game that emphasizes collectible content.

• Our collectible content includes module endings, character traits, spells, companions, and mythos items.
•  Exploring forbidden knowledge in the modules will allow your investigator character to harness the power to cast spells.

•  Throughout the story, you will encounter many new characters and unlock their unique stories. As the story progresses, they will become your companions, standing by your side and fighting with you.

•  Additionally, each story hides unique mythos items. Collecting and skillfully using these items will bring extraordinary power-ups to your character.

•  Each module has different endings, and once you achieve these endings, all your characters can inherit these experiences, thus unlocking exclusive collectible content unique to that ending.

•  Your investigator character will undergo unique adventures, and these experiences will transform into traits, granting your character special abilities.

This is also a story creation platform.

•   The game features a powerful story editor, allowing creators the freedom to craft all content within the game.
•   If you are passionate about writing, you can use the editor to create text modules in the style of visual novels.
•  If you are skilled at building game mechanics, then crafting rules-based modules will be an excellent way to showcase your design talents.
•  If you yearn to create a more free and open game world, then making exploration modules will fulfill that desire.
•  Currently, there are over 50 playable modules available in the Workshop, and regular module co-creation events are being held on an ongoing basis!
