We visited the GungHo booth, hosted by GungHo Online Entertainment, Inc. (GungHo), at Tokyo Game Show 2025 (TGS 2025) and got the world premiere hands-on demo of LET IT DIE: INFERNO!
(NOTE: This article is translated from Japanese. Some of the in-game terms may differ from the official terminology.)

Visiting the GungHo Booth! The Booth Is Cool, Flashy, and Grabs Your Attention

The GungHo booth immediately catches the eye with Uncle Death, a familiar character from the LET IT DIE series.
The staff in this area are also flashy and stand out.
Get a T-shirt and Sunglasses for the Hands-On Demo!
If you try the demo version of LET IT DIE: INFERNO, titled Uncle Death's VIP Treatment Version, you can get sunglasses. In addition, if you post photos or videos on social media with the hashtag "アンクルデスからのPR案件" (PR request from Uncle Death) after the demo, you'll receive a Standard T-shirt!
In addition, if you participate in the attraction called Hellish Hands-On Challenge—where players are subjected to an electric shock when they take damage in the game—and meet the required conditions, you can receive a Standard T-shirt or a Super Ultimate T-shirt.
Only individuals aged 18 or older who agree to the consent form are allowed to participate in the Hellish Hands-On Challenge.
Fujii Yodan Tries Out LET IT DIE: INFERNO!
Saiga NAK
After learning the controls and how to play, the hands-on demo began!
Even if you're unfamiliar with the controls, a gameplay guide is available, so you can play without issue.
Can Fujii Yodan (@MTNRFG) survive while collecting SPLithium and aiming for the bottom of Hell, all within the 20-minute time limit?!
Character Selection: Preparing to Descend into Hell!
Saiga NAK
Only two characters could be selected: the all-rounder Timothy and the attacker Pearl. Fujii Yodan chose the all-rounder Timothy!
After character selection, a Welcome to Hell sign was displayed, and he performed a final check before descending into Hell.
Time to Explore Hell!
Saiga NAK
He immediately descended into Hell!
The game screen's detailed depiction was mesmerizing.
He equipped full body armor and a weapon in each hand.
Saiga NAK
After selecting his weapons, the exploration started right away!
The field was complex, like a maze, and he encountered numerous enemies.
The attack animations were incredibly realistic.
He Was Making Good Progress, But Then...
He advanced while looking at the map, but since enemies attack even when the map is open, he proceeded with caution.
Just when he thought he was making good progress...
Saiga NAK
...He was defeated by an enemy called Kirisaki.
When he was defeated, a rocket launched.
Saiga NAK
He got a Game Over only about five minutes into the game.
Upon death, only the spinal cord escapes for transplantation into the next body.
Using Frustration as Fuel for a Rematch!
Saiga NAK
Getting a Game Over so quickly was frustrating, so he immediately sought a rematch!
Using his frustration as motivation, Fujii Yodan started taking down enemies at an incredible pace, but the situation quickly turned worse.
Fujii Yodan's Unexpected Failure! He Couldn't Hide His Disappointment
Saiga NAK
Fueled by frustration, Fujii Yodan was defeating enemies, but unexpectedly got a Game Over again.
The second Game Over made him look serious and crestfallen.
Third Time's the Charm! The Last Play Was With the Attacker, Pearl
Fujii Yodan felt discouraged after the second Game Over, noting that the all-rounder Timothy was primarily focused on close-range combat, making it difficult to gauge the distance for attacks.
Therefore, for the third attempt, he changed characters and played as the attacker Pearl!
The abilities of Timothy and Pearl in the demo were different, which was very interesting!
Fujii Yodan was finally getting used to the controls.
However, just before the next stage, he was surrounded by an enemy called Irukamodoki and struggled.
Saiga NAK
He somehow managed to defeat all the enemies and moved on to the next area.
Upon entering the next area, the atmosphere changed, and the enemy Muzan Kirisaki appeared!
Could he clear the game within the remaining 10 minutes?!
What Was the Game Result?! Hooked on LET IT DIE: INFERNO
Saiga NAK
...Unfortunately, time ran out.
Uncle Death and his crew appeared on the game screen to signal the end of the demo.
Saiga NAK
Fujii Yodan was completely hooked on LET IT DIE: INFERNO.
He took a commemorative photo with the booth companion.
Fujii Yodan, who played the Uncle Death's VIP Treatment Version demo of LET IT DIE: INFERNO, commented...
Saiga NAKThe enemies were fast, and I ended up taking more damage than I expected, so if I had played the electric-shock attraction, the Hellish Hands-On Challenge, it might have turned into a serious situation. (Relief)
We look forward to the release on Thursday, December 4, 2025!
