The project follows the story of a mysterious agency and features stealth-based combat.
HoYoverse, the creator of many renowned games such as Zenless Zone Zero and Genshin Impact, announced a new project and shared a 31-minute gameplay demo for Varsapura, a sci-fi adventure about a mysterious agency.
As we can tell from the video, the player will take on the role of a newly recruited employee of SEAL – Shadow Emergency Alliance, an agency that investigates and fights anomalies and otherworldly interferences. The game features stealth combat, and the main character has a unique weapon – an umbrella, which she uses with remarkable skill.

The demo's description introduces the setting and shares a glimpse of the plot:
SEAL – Shadow Emergency Alliance
Internal Directive 047-EX
All footage was captured from live operational environments (codename: RTX4090). Should you detect any anomalies or interferences, report immediately through secure channels.
Upon entering Varsapura, the protagonist's appearance shifts to match each viewer's preferences. The origin of this parapsychological effect remains unknown.
Remain calm. Avoid excessive speculation and maintain composure to prevent Cognosea disruption events. SEAL will continue full-spectrum monitoring.
SEAL has authorized the release of only the English-voice over version at this time, to maintain operational continuity while all available personnel remain assigned to core research initiatives. Additional language modules are in development and will be deployed once system stability is confirmed.
We are currently recruiting individuals with exceptional perceptual acuity and high cognitive stability.
Join SEAL. Make a difference.
