Usual June Brings Pastel Horror and Friendship to Life

Finji is bringing a fresh perspective to the horror genre with their upcoming title Usual June. Set in the town of Fen Harbor, the game follows a college student named June who has the ability to see and speak with spirits. When crystal creatures begin invading cemeteries and ghosts start disappearing, June and her friends must band together to uncover the truth behind the chaos.

The game stands out for its unique aesthetic. Instead of the typical dark and gritty visuals found in most horror games, the developers chose a pastel color palette filled with blues, purples, and pinks. This approach creates a vibrant experience that feels distinct while still delivering on supernatural scares and mystery.

At the heart of the story is the bond between June and her friends, Max and Sunny. The developers focused on creating grounded, relatable characters and highlighting a strong platonic, mixed gender friendship. This dynamic serves as the emotional anchor for players as they navigate combat encounters, upgrade abilities, and solve the mysteries plaguing their city.

Combat in the game is designed to be accessible yet deep. Players can use melee combos, dashes, and parries to fight off paranormal threats. You can also customize your playstyle by using different charms and upgrading stats as you explore over 20 unique locations. Fans interested in a sneak peek can check out the demo currently available on Steam before the full launch on October 28, 2026.
