High-Speed Action Platformer INARI Reaches 50,000 Steam Wishlists in One Week After Reveal

The pixel art action platformer INARI is in development for PC via Steam, and has already crossed 50,000 wishlists within a single week following its announcement on January 7, 2026, developer 1HP STUDIO revealed.

Inspired by fast-paced titles such as Katana ZERO, Nine Sols, Celeste, and Ghostrunner, INARI positions itself as a high-speed kunai action platformer built around precision, momentum, and relentless pressure, reinforced by instant-teleport combat and a one-life executioner fantasy set in an Eastern-inspired world.

In INARI, players take on the role of Izna the Reaper, an enforcer sent by a divine Lord to hunt down the Seven Daughters who dared to defy his rule. Combat revolves around chaining kunai throws with instantaneous teleportation, allowing rapid repositioning, aggressive offense, and razor-sharp control of space. Encounters are designed around overwhelming odds, where a single mistake can mean death, reinforcing the game’s focus on mastery rather than attrition.

Alongside the growing momentum on Steam, 1HP STUDIO confirmed that a playable demo will be released soon as part of the game’s upcoming Kickstarter campaign. The campaign will give players their first hands-on opportunity to experience INARI’s lightning-fast combat and execution-driven design while supporting further development.
