Out of Skull, a skull-throwing puzzle game, shown at DREAMSCAPE #5 in Tokyo
A student team's 2D puzzle action game about a skeleton in the Underworld was presented at the Tokyo International Forum on October 24, 2026.
Out of Skull, a 2D puzzle action game about a skeleton who must collect flowers in the Underworld to return to the living world and reunite with a lover, was exhibited at the indie game event DREAMSCAPE #5 at Tokyo International Forum on October 24, 2026, according to 4gamer.net.
The game's central mechanic is detaching the protagonist's skull and throwing it to take over other bodies. The abandoned body remains on the field and can be used as a weight to hold down switches.
The planner of Out of Skull was at the booth and said the project began under the strong influence of ElecHead, the puzzle game by its creator. Development is handled by a student team assembled online, which continued working on the game after members became working adults.
The project started as single-screen puzzles and was later expanded into a scrolling format with a wider range of gimmicks, alongside quick retries. In the past, the team placed highly in contests, including a game creator contest.
What the demo shows
The build shown at DREAMSCAPE #5 focuses on the skull-throwing and body-switching mechanic, with the abandoned body doubling as a tool for holding down switches.
