sci-fi horror game "Calisto prototype" is suspended in Japan. The official announcement that the reason for the suspension was that "there is no CERO rating." Deciding to change the game to get a rating won't give the player the experience they expect. Those who have already booked the game in Japan will receive a refund, so let's wait for the follow-up report from the official website and the official Twitter account.
Also, according to the news, it stops on all platforms in Japan. However, things sold overseas include in Japanese. In addition, it has been announced that this work will support Japanese dubbing.
Carlisto promises to be a TPS-style survival horror game. This work has attracted much attention as a game produced by the creators of the original version of "Dead Space". Like Dead Space, this work has a site-breaking system that has the protagonist's weird death. The site destruction system is a part of the game directly related to it, and if such expression is limited, it is likely that it will no longer be the original experience, as shown in the announcement.
This is a game that cannot be released in Japan because the original version was the first generation of "dead space". Carlisto Protokoll, wrote in June 2022, “The Japanese version may have some expression limitations depending on the CERO. In a September post, he replied, “The expression in the game is the design, which can be selected or adjusted for whether it exists, and we will adjust to the line that the rating organization believes is no problem.”
It is likely that it has been adjusted to the end to get a CERO rating due to the announcement of a discontinuation. However, it has become an unfortunate result.
