Loop8: Summer of Gods 'Locales' trailer, scenario writer shares his inspirations

A coming-of-age RPG, Loop8: Summer of Gods follows protagonist Nini and his classmates as they try to defeat the Kegai, demonic entities who have forced humanity to the brink of extinction. Ahead of its release on June 6th, 2023, a new trailer has been shared showing off some of the game’s locations. You can check that out above.

Raised on a failed space station known as “Hope,” Nini returns to Earth to spend his summer in Ashihara, one of humanity’s last remaining sanctuaries. Gifted with “Demon Sight,” Nini can use his special connection to the gods to reset the world, with each loop allowing him and his allies to relive the 8th month over and over until they get it right…or the Kegai overwhelm them entirely.

Along with the trailer, Publisher Marvelous has also conducted their own interview with game designer and scenario writer Yuri Shibamura. This interview goes over the creation of a village in the game, Ashihara. We learn about the inspirations behind Ashihara, including anime nods, real-life connections and more.
