Nexon announced on October 26 that it will showcase FAREIDOLIA, currently under development by Nexon Games, at the subculture event Anime X Game Festival (AGF) 2026. A Korean playable demo will be unveiled for the first time at the event.
FAREIDOLIA is an anime-style game being developed for PC, console, and mobile platforms by RX Studio under Nexon Games' IO Division, the team behind Blue Archive. Built on Unreal Engine 5 with 3D graphics, the game features a 'Live Turn Battle' combat system, where players step into the role of the director of the Restoration Center in 'Anima City,' an alternate-world metropolis.
Following international showcases at Anime Expo and Tokyo Game Show (TGS) earlier this year, FAREIDOLIA will provide domestic players with an opportunity to experience the game in Korean. The demo allows players to experience daily life in 'Anima City'—a town that resembles reality yet feels subtly unfamiliar—alongside its 'Live Turn Battle' combat system. Players live together with 'Mates,' girls who possess special powers, and resolve issues through exploration and combat whenever anomalies or Erosion occur.
The event booth will recreate 'Tasogare Hall,' the living space where players reside and build relationships with 'Mates.' Designed to allow visitors to tour various environments from the game, the booth will also showcase original novelty merchandise.
An interactive experience utilizing voice recognition for character interaction will also be featured. Visitors can speak directly to 'Mates' or play rock-paper-scissors using their voice.
Minseo Cha, Producer at Nexon Games' RX Studio, said, “We are delighted to introduce the unique world of FAREIDOLIA to domestic players for the first time. We are preparing so visitors can directly experience a variety of in-game content—from bonding with Mates to exploration and combat—so we hope to see great interest at the show.”
