Negotiation X Monster -v1.0.0 Trial- By Kyomu-s... -

As of this writing, Kyomu-s… has not announced a full release date. The v1.0.0 Trial (free on itch.io) has been downloaded ~12,000 times. A Patreon page (“Kyomu’s Corridor”) offers devlogs and alternate ending drafts. Rumors of a Kickstarter for “Negotiation X Monster: Full Contract Edition” (Chapters 1–5, 32 monsters, voice acting for key lines) circulate but remain unconfirmed.

Little is known. “Kyomu-s…” appears on a Carrd site with a single image: a broken mirror reflecting a keyboard. The trial’s credits list “Writing/Negotiation AI – Kyomu,” “Art – K. ████ ,” and “Voice – None by design.” Some speculate Kyomu is a former narrative designer for a major RPG studio, working under a pseudonym. Others argue it’s a generative AI experiment (disputed due to consistent emotional arcs). Regardless, the -v1.0.0 Trial- suggests a full release is planned.

In a gaming landscape dominated by action-packed RPGs and high-speed strategy titles, a quiet but intriguing challenger has emerged from the indie scene: Negotiation X Monster -v1.0.0 Trial-, a project by the elusive creator known as Kyomu-s… (often stylized as Kyomu-san or Kyomu-shi). Judging by the title, this is no ordinary monster-battling game. Instead of brute force, the core mechanic revolves around negotiation — a refreshing twist that transforms every encounter into a battle of wits, charisma, and psychological pressure.

The “Trial” label and version number v1.0.0 suggest that this is a feature-complete demo or a limited release, inviting players to test the mechanics before a full launch. But even in this trial form, the game offers a surprising amount of depth.

Most horror games give you a flashlight or a gun. Negotiation X Monster gives you a dialogue tree. You play as a hostage, a detective, or a lost soul trapped in a liminal space with a single, sentient Entity.
