Gameplay

The game features a minimalist combat system in which players are limited to a single firearm and a single melee weapon. The gameplay emphasizes precision and timing.

Each day, players enter a procedurally assembled labyrinth created from roughly 300 pre-designed segments arranged in a fixed daily configuration. The resulting levels feature branching paths and enemy encounters. A global leaderboard tracks performance on the daily labyrinth, allowing players to compete under identical conditions.

Development

The game was revealed in 2024 as a “fast-paced arcade-style corridor shooter".

Tamashika was again reported on in March 2025, as the first video game release from Harmony Korine's EDGLRD. Korine founded EDGLRD in 2023, using the imprint to release his films Aggro Dr1ft and Baby Invasion. Tamashika was publicly playable for the first time at Day of the Devs on March 16 and the Game Developers Conference later that same month (GDC 2025).
