Seina: A Tale of Spirits Brings Hand-Painted Japanese Folklore to Consoles and PC in 2026

Seina: A Tale of Spirits is an atmospheric adventure set to release in 2026 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Created by solo developer Argyro Brotsi, the game invites players into a Japanese-inspired world painted entirely by hand.

The experience focuses on calm exploration rather than fast action. It draws heavily on traditional Japanese values, a close bond with nature, and an appreciation for small moments. Players will travel through quiet forests, old shrines, and places touched by spirits, all designed to encourage slow, thoughtful exploration.

Argyro Brotsi’s own travels across Japan played a major role in shaping the world and tone of the game. Her experiences in rural villages, natural landscapes, and traditional spaces inspired a story focused on companionship, kindness, and finding moments of peace in everyday life.

Gameplay centers on gentle exploration and small discoveries where you move through the watercolor world at you own pace, uncovering secrets and meeting friendly animal spirits, each with its own personality. Story moments unfold through gestures and simple interactions rather than dialogue, creating an experience that feels quiet, warm, and personal.
