Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II (known in Japan as Shinigami: Shibito Magire[a]) is a horror visual novel adventure game developed and published by Experience. It is the third entry in the Spirit Hunter series, following 2017's Spirit Hunter: Death Mark and 2018's Spirit Hunter: NG.[2] The game was released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on December 1, 2022 in Japan, and was released by Aksys Games for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Windows on February 15, 2024 worldwide.
The story is set in a Tokyo suburb, and sees the player take the role of Kazuo Yashiki, who is hired to infiltrate a school as a teacher to investigate gruesome, spiritual incidents that occur there every ten years. Like previous Spirit Hunter games, it is an adventure game, but it also incorporates elements from tabletop role-playing games. The player investigates areas in a side-view perspective together with a number of partner characters; the choice of partner determines which locations the player has access to.
The game is directed by Ataka Motoya and produced by Hajime Chikami, and was financed through a crowdfunding campaign.
