Dive into a supernatural adventure where Mizuki, a part-time college student by day and a centuries-old spiritual warrior by night, battles malevolent spirits to protect humanity. Balancing academic life with supernatural duties, this 3D action-RPG blends intense combat, intricate puzzles, and a gripping narrative where every choice reshapes her destiny.
Worldbuilding & Character Lore
1. Dual Identity & Ancestral Legacy
• Mizuki’s ordinary life as a university student contrasts sharply with her role as a descendant of the Kami-no-Michi exorcist clan, wielding ancient talismans and spiritual arts passed through bloodline rituals.
• Uncover her hidden heritage through fragmented journals and spectral visions, revealing a lineage cursed to battle the Oni no Kai—a cult seeking to revive primordial evils.
• Dynamic interactions with NPCs, including rival exorcists and tormented spirits, deepen her moral alignment (holy/neutral/chaotic) and unlock unique abilities.
2. Dynamic Combat System
• Combine Kodachi dagger strikes, Onmyodo barrier spells, and Shikigami summoning (e.g., Kitsune guardians) in combo-driven combat.
• Use Spirit Sense to detect hidden enemy weak points and environmental hazards, turning battlefields into strategic playgrounds.
• Face boss encounters like the Yurei no Yado (phantom inn) or Kuchisake-onna (slash-mouthed woman), each requiring tailored tactics to exploit elemental vulnerabilities.
3. Treasure Hunting & Exploration
• Traverse cursed sites—abandoned shrines, haunted forests, and submerged shrines—using Mizuki’s Mikoshi (portable shrine) to cleanse areas and collect Tama (spirit orbs).
• Solve puzzles involving Kanji sigils, mirror mazes, and time-loop mechanics to unlock treasure chests containing legendary gear and lore fragments.
• Multiplayer co-op mode allows up to 4 players to tackle dungeon crawls, with shared resources and synchronized spellcasting.
Narrative & Progression
1. Branching Storylines
• Choose Mizuki’s specialization: Onmyoji (tactical spellcaster), Onna-bugeisha (melee-focused), or Yurei-tama (spirit medium), each affecting dialogue, combat style, and romance options.
• Key decisions—such as siding with the Kami-no-Michi elders or the rebellious Ikko-ikki spirits—alter the game’s ending, including post-credits scenarios.
• Collect Kuchizusami (whispered prayers) to unlock secret endings where Mizuki transcends mortality or becomes a vengeful yokai.
2. Character Development & Customization
• Upgrade Mizuki’s Reiryoku (spirit energy) by completing Goma (fire rituals) or Matsuri (festivals), unlocking new outfits (e.g., Sensu fan armor) and cosmetic Ofuda charms.
• Romance arcs with classmates, like stoic Kaito (a Kappa researcher) or shy librarian Aiko (possessed by a Kitsune), feature dialogue wheels and gift-based affection meters.
• Skill trees for Kenjutsu (swordsmanship), Onmyodo (spiritual magic), and Ninjutsu (stealth) allow hybrid builds, emphasizing player creativity.
3. Replayability & Hidden Content
• Infernal Labyrinth: A procedurally generated dungeon with shifting layouts, offering exclusive loot and Oni transformation challenges.
• Yurei Radio: Collect hidden AM radio frequencies to hear ghost stories that unlock bonus quests, like rescuing trapped spirits in Ugetsu Monogatari-inspired scenarios.
• Yōkai Encyclopedia: A bestiary detailing 50+ spirits, complete with lore entries and voice-acted encounters (e.g., the melancholic Zashiki-warashi or vengeful Onryō).
• Cross-play compatibility with PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, featuring seamless progression across platforms.
