Kento, a warrior of the Kozuki clan, returns home after war to find his family’s sacred Nōmen mask shattered and an ancient evil unleashed upon his bloodline. As corruption spreads through the castle, he must fight possessed allies, uncover hidden relics, and restore the seal that has contained “The Nohmen’s course” for generations.

Bound by duty and guilt, Kento’s final mission may require the ultimate sacrifice to prevent the darkness from consuming the world.

The experience:

A third-person action experience where you follow Kento as he returns to his cursed family castle, now overrun by a dark force. You’ll fight your way through possessed enemies using fast, close-range combat based on timing, dodges, and well-timed counters.

Exploration is shown through a cinematic camera that changes angles to build tension and guide your attention. Between battles, you’ll solve environmental puzzles that slow the pace and uncover pieces of the story behind the curse.
