SUCCESS Corporation has announced that its upcoming mystery visual novel Ghost Traveler: Adventures in Edo will release digitally for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on October 16, 2025. The game will feature support for English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese languages at launch.
Ghost Traveler follows 17-year-old Kotaro, a teen transported from the streets of Shibuya to 19th-century Japan. After losing consciousness in a supernatural incident, Kotaro awakens in Edo’s Yoshiwara red-light district, told by a deity that his physical body is dead and his soul now wanders through the past.
With no clear way to return to the present or move on to the afterlife, Kotaro becomes entangled in a string of strange murders. The first of these, an apparent courtesan killing, has him become an amateur detective.
The game blends supernatural elements with traditional mystery-solving gameplay, set against the backdrop of the Edo period’s Yoshiwara district. Players will explore the area, investigate crime scenes, and uncover the truth behind Kotaro’s time travel.
