Overview

NumeNume is an online hide-and-seek game that turns a simple premise into a surprisingly tense social experience. Developed and published by Phuriko, this casual action title launched on Steam on October 16, 2026, and supports both single-player and online multiplayer with PvP modes.

The screen is filled with characters that look almost identical—some are "ぬ" and some are "め"—and the challenge is figuring out which ones are real players and which are just part of the crowd.

Highlights

  • Blend in or hunt: Play as a runner (め) and hide among the dummy ぬ characters, or play as a seeker and try to spot the real players hiding in plain sight.
  • Social deduction twist: The game rewards acting natural. If you're spotted, you can still survive by pretending to be just another ぬ—often, nobody notices.
  • Cute and accessible: With a 2D, cute art style and simple controls, it's easy to pick up for quick sessions with friends or strangers online.

Who It's For

If you enjoy party games, social deduction, or hidden object challenges, NumeNume offers a fresh take on the genre. It's perfect for players who like to test their observation skills and bluffing abilities in a lighthearted, low-pressure environment.

The game supports multiple languages, including English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, making it accessible to a global audience.
