Bidding Begins with Dark Auction: Hitler's Estate on PS5

Narrative adventure game Dark Auction: Hitler’s Estate – which is being written by Gangsta creator Kohske in collaboration with Hotel Dusk: Room 215 scribe Rika Suzuki – is coming to the PS5, according to a Gematsu translation of a Japanese press release. The game, now due in 2025, went through a round of crowdfunding late last year – and will temporarily be open for further investment over the coming months.

The game itself has a fairly complicated plot premise, but it’s set in the 1980s and features a character named Noah whose father is obsessed with collecting items related to Hitler. As part of this, the family visit an old castle for an auction where guests must bid on memorabilia with their memories. This prompts a journey of discovery, pertaining to Hitler’s own legacy and much more. It’s an interesting premise, and the game will be translated into English when it releases.

We’re assuming this’ll be more of a visual novel than a true traditional adventure game, but we’re still awaiting more official media to determine that for certain. Nevertheless, is this the type of game you’d be interested in? Go once, go twice in the comments section below.
