Okamoto's account matches Screen Burn's from the other side. Annapurna introduced Konami to the studio, Konami had played Stories Untold and Observation, and it was happy to leave the project in the studio's hands. The full sequence is on Development History.
On what the town does to the player: he has said players will "see for themselves the reality and delusions within the town slowly intertwine." On what the series has not covered before, he has framed the game's social angle as "the dynamic between the individual and society at large and corporations."
On the PlayStation 5 hardware: the series has historically been praised for its visuals and sound, and being able to bring the sense of touch into the horror is what the console adds. The controller work is on PS5 Features.
On the ending structure: "All three main endings can be reached right from your first playthrough, whereas the secret ending becomes accessible after clearing the game once," adding that players are not forced to replay two or three times to see the primary endings. On whether any of them is the real one: "From our perspective, we don't designate any single ending as the true canon ending. We are aware that a lot of players personally take to heart that a certain ending is canon, but we take care not to signal that any one ending is more canon than the other." See Endings and New Game Plus.
He has also referred to "the town's atmosphere and the portrayal of the Otherworld" as part of what players will find in the game, which is one of the two first-party statements naming the Otherworld for Townfall.
Konami has not published a biography, a start date at the company, or a credit list for Okamoto on other titles, and none is recorded here. This page covers his work on this game only.
