Take a Better Look at UN:Me
Publisher Shueisha Games and developer historia Inc. have released a new behind-the-scenes video for UN:Me, offering a closer look at the motion capture work that brings the psychological horror adventure’s four souls to life.
The making-of video features developers and actors discussing the performances behind the characters, highlighting the effort that went into making each soul feel distinct and believable. The footage also follows the team’s September announcement that UN:Me will arrive in 2027, giving the developers more time to refine its motion capture performances.
For UN:Me, historia is using detailed motion capture to capture subtle movements, facial expressions, and eye movements during conversations. The studio wants players to connect with the characters on a deeper level, making them feel less like traditional video game characters and more like real people. Interestingly, the team believes these improvements will also make identifying the girl’s true soul more challenging.
The game takes place in a beautiful yet unsettling world where players must discover the true owner of a girl’s body. Four souls reside within her, but each has lost its memories and claims to be the original. Through conversations with them, players must uncover the truth while escaping the traumatic experiences closing in around them. Ultimately, their choices will determine which soul survives and which one disappears.
UN:Me is currently planned for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. Its focus on character performances and psychological horror makes it an intriguing project, and this latest video offers a better idea of the emotional experience historia hopes to deliver.
