Kemuri

Enter a surreal urban battlefield where reality and the afterlife collide, and every enemy you defeat can become your greatest weapon. As a Yokai Hunter navigating a living city shaped by human emotion and supernatural forces, you will harness the powers of mystical beings, transform your combat style on the fly, and uncover hidden realms that exist just beyond human sight.

Players take on the role of Yokai Hunters who explore the city’s rooftops, alleys, and hidden realms in search of powerful spirits.
