Evaluation

PAGUI launched on October 8, 2019 as a single-player action-adventure game set in 1950s Taiwan. Since then, the developer has substantially expanded the game with multiplayer content and maintained a consistent update cadence. The most significant milestone came on February 24, 2026, when the developer announced the completion of the multiplayer mode — a project that, by the developer's own account in an April 30, 2025 post, took approximately two and a half years to build. This multiplayer mode was spun off into a separate free-to-play Steam title called PAGUI Battle, with character progression carrying over. The base game also gained a battle pass featuring new characters and cosmetics. In that same February 24, 2026 post, the developer explicitly stated plans to continue development on "Demon Slayer 3," featuring the characters Zhong Kui and Mazu. The developer noted the script has already progressed to "Demon Slayer 7," and expressed a goal of releasing one new entry per year. This is a clear statement of ongoing content plans beyond the current release. Throughout 2025, the game received a steady stream of updates: new maps (including the Minxiong Haunted House), new Fate Tablets, balance adjustments, and bug fixes, with developer communications recorded on July 1, August 7, August 22–23, September 5, and October 17, 2025. Four expansion packs were also released in mid-to-late 2025. The most recent developer communication on record is from February 24, 2026 — approximately 7.5 months before today's date of October 8, 2026. While the developer has been quieter since February 2026 compared to the active patch cadence of mid-2025, the February 2026 statement about Demon Slayer 3 and the year-by-year release goal is a strong forward-looking commitment. All eight DLC entries are currently released, but the developer's stated plans for new series entries mean the overall product remains in active development with more content intended.

About this game

In Taiwan, early 1954, an orphan was taken in by a temple. Upon overhearing of his past, he set out in the darkness of night on a "fantastic journey" to find his relatives.

Inspired by a true story, PAGUI comprises historic background, religious culture and folk culture unique to Taiwan; from the recreation of historic architecture to religious practices, and from folk lore to supernatural culture, in a beautiful and immersive 3D atmospheric environment, where you will explore the eerie haunted village, sneak past power spirits, learn skills to fight off ghosts, and dig up the secrets about your own story as well as to uncover the buried history of the haunted village.

Single Player Stories

Immerse yourself in a rich 3D action-adventure game with 3D third-person gameplay. Players will arm themselves as they traverse the thrilling atmosphere of a ghost town.

Multiplayer PVP

Experience 3v1 asymmetrical multiplayer action. Choose your path: play as the righteous Exorcists to banish evil, or unleash your fury as the burgeoning Malevolent.

• Gameplay demonstrating martial arts straight from modern practitioners and masters. State-of-the-art motion capture technology allows players to experience the true power of Taiwanese martial arts.
