PLAYISM is proud to announce that TOKOYO: The Tower of Perpetuity, was developed by Saebashi, a member of the indie game development team //commentout, is now available on the Nintendo Switch. Additionally, the Steam version has also been updated to the full 1.0 version.

Fight your way through a constantly changing tower to solidify your eternal legacy!
You find yourself trapped in a mysterious tower - one that transforms its very structure every 24 hours.
The legacy of your epic struggle shall be carved into the hearts of those who challenge you like an epitaph. Surpass countless poor fallen souls and make your way to the heretofore unseen top!
TOKOYO: The Tower of Perpetuity is a 2D social rogue-like game set in the titular Tower of Perpetuity, filled with savage monsters and traps, which is procedurally generated every 24 hours. The title has been created by solo indie developer Saebashi under his personal doujin circle //commentout.
In sharp contrast to the overall cute character and game design, the gameplay is laced with challenging boss fights and platforming sequences to put your skills to the test.
The title has garnered attention from various outlets, even from an early stage in development, and has received the following awards and nominations:
● Xiamen International Animation Festival 2019 Game Contest, Won Best Game Application Award.
● Tokyo Game Show 2018, Nominated for the Dengeki PlayStation Indie Game Award.
● Tokyo Game Show 2017, Nominated for the Dengeki PlayStation Indie Game Category.
This 2D action game is set in Tokoyo – the Tower of Perpetuity – a constantly changing and devilishly deceptive auto-generated dungeon crawling tower with fiendish monsters and brutal traps. The Tower of Perpetuity is automatically regenerated by the game server every 24 hours (in real-world time), allowing for players around the world to take on the same dungeon each day, and for one day only. Different traps and gimmicks await you each day, and you must compete against other players while battling your way through. The dungeon contains various differing branches, offering a certain degree of free choice and randomization.
Social features utilizing the network have been implemented in the game, in which a gravestone will be placed where a player meets their end, appearing in other players’ games along with their “relics” and “last words”. Take advantage of the different special skills afforded to each character and compete with other players as you struggle to surpass the countless bodies of your less fortunate rivals and fight your way through the impregnable dungeon.
Race to the top against rivals throughout the globe as you aim to top the daily ranking chart. Players on Steam and Nintendo Switch share the same rankings, so if you manage to cement top spot for the day, well it means you are the undisputed king for the day.
We have collaborated with popular illustrators, streamers, and game designers to bring you custom characters that you can play alongside the five existing playable characters. Expect more official custom characters to be added to the lineup in the future!
Players on Steam will even be able to create their very own characters to control in-game. You have full creative control over how your character looks and his/her backstory, which can be told through the opening/ending stories and dialogues.
Official Custom Characters
The character lineup at launch includes some very special custom characters created by very talented individuals, including Diane the Mighty Goose Cosplayer (by @rilemtwit), Sedeto the twinkle maker (by @Sedeto), and popular Japanese VTuber Magurona (by @ukyo_rst).
