Story and Setting

"No one remembers why the Kemono began their rampage through a once‑prosperous Azuma" sets the mystery that drives the hunt.

Players act as hunters in a world "inspired by feudal Japan", confronting supernatural beasts while exploring a fantasy landscape shaped by ancient technology.

  • Listen to narrated menu entries for lore clues about the Kemono.
  • Watch environmental cues that hint at creature habits.

Gameplay Modes

"Take on these creatures alone or hunt with friends in seamless co‑op" describes the core modes available.

Both solo and cooperative play share the same combat mechanics and objectives, allowing flexible team sizes.
