About the Game

Step into a dark, myth-inspired vision of medieval Japan.

You play as a masked warrior on a path of vengeance and redemption, hunting corrupted spirits and ancient beasts that haunt the land. Each battle tests your skill in fast, fluid slasher combat — every encounter a dance of blades and timing, while epic Souls-like bosses demand strategy and precision.

Beyond the fight, your choices can unlock intimate, fully consensual encounters with NPCs, either after defeating powerful foes or through player-initiated interactions.

The world is rich with folklore — shrines, whispers of yokai, and echoes of forgotten gods. Between combat and discovery, you’ll explore a fading world, its secrets, and the story behind the mask.
