About 近畿霊務局 - Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau
Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau is an indie action title in which players take on the role of Mizuki Shiraishi, a government exorcist. Set in Saiga Village in Nara, the game combines gun combat, stealth, and supernatural threats as Shiraishi investigates a mystery involving erased online traces and vanished residents. Unlike classic Japanese horror games where the protagonist is helpless, here the exorcist is every bit as dangerous as the spirits she hunts.
The Steam listing describes the game as single-player with full controller support and Family Sharing, available on Windows. Streamers may monetize broadcasts of the game without restriction.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story and Setting
The narrative follows Mizuki Shiraishi, an exorcist from the Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau, as she travels to Saiga Village in Nara. The village's traces on the internet have been wiped away, its electricity, communications, and internet connections have been cut, and its residents have all disappeared, creating a tense, isolated atmosphere.
Shiraishi receives radio assistance from her boss, Kohinata, and her junior co-worker, Maruoka, while investigating the unlawful spirits that infest the area. The plot centers on uncovering who is pulling the strings behind the incident.
- Pay attention to radio updates from Kohinata and Maruoka for guidance during the investigation.
- Watch for signs of unlawful spirit activity as you move through the abandoned village.

Combat and Stealth Mechanics
The game features fighting, gun shooting, and stealth action. Rather than a defenseless horror protagonist, Shiraishi is portrayed as just as much of a threat to the spirits as they are to her, so aggressive tactics are on the table alongside careful avoidance.
Encounters can be approached with direct firepower or with quieter, more cautious movement, letting players adapt their approach to each situation.
- Balance shooting with stealth depending on the situation you face.
- Remember that you are a threat to the spirits too, not just their prey.
