The key point
S-GAME's pre-release overview presents Wayfarer for story-focused players, Hellwalker for greater challenge and Sixty-Six Days as a demanding option.
The developer's overview
In a pre-release PlayStation Blog post, S-GAME's founder presents Wayfarer as an option for enjoying the story. Hellwalker is described as a greater challenge with more advanced, adaptive enemy AI; Sixty-Six Days is presented as a demanding challenge.
These descriptions come from the developer's overview, not this site's measurements of the retail game. Check your own game menu for available options and localized names.
