How it feels

A tense action-horror experience blending swordplay and talismans against Japanese supernatural threats.

What players say

Players praise the full voice acting and the novelty of switching between third-person action and first-person exploration, but most agree the combat is held back by long animation locks that make it feel sluggish. The game is short, around two to three hours, and relies on spamming healing and attack talismans rather than skill.
