Ex-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn's escape from Japan while on bail last month captivated the world - and now, the episode could become immortalized.

According to a page on Steam, a video game parody called "Ghone is Gone" is currently in development and is set for release on January 23.

Described as a stealth game, it will see a former CEO, "Loscar Gon," attempt to "slip through the narrowest gaps to escape the country, using bribes and sometimes hiding in a musical instrument case." The expected completion time for the PC-only title is "about 40 minutes," the Steam page added.

The page also states that "any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental."

News of the game has generated interest on social media in Japan, with one Japanese Twitter user speculating the game could "lead to a movie."

Yet despite the fascination, it's possible the game may never be released.

Steam has had issues in the past with fake or unfinished games popping up on the platform, and the game's listed developer, Wasabi Sushi Studio, has no other titles listed Steam.

Wasabi Sushi Studio could not be reached for comment. Valve, the company that develops Steam, did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
