In "Oninaki," you control a single character named Kagachi. He's a "watcher" dedicated to leading souls to reincarnation.

Kagachi and his fellow watchers can pass between the world of the living and the dead to find lost souls.

Lost souls eventually become monsters called the Fallen who threaten the world of the living. Kagachi and the watchers risk their lives to combat the Fallen and rescue lost souls before it's too late.

The souls of powerful warriors become daemons, and Kagachi can recruit them to help him fight the Fallen.

The daemon spirits possess Kagachi, giving him access to more than a dozen different fighting styles.

Each daemon has a specific weapon and a wide range of abilities to help Kagachi combat the Fallen.

Kagachi will level up as you progress through the game, improving his health, attack power, and defense.

Daemons also improve the more you use them, and you can pick and choose new skills to build your own fighting style.

The story of "Oninaki" is mostly told through text conversations and short cut scenes. There's a bit of voice acting, but it's only in Japanese.

"Oninaki" twists and turns as Kagachi begins to question whether the watchers are really saving lost souls by leading them to reincarnation.

Eventually Kagachi encounters a lost soul who can't remember her past, but has a mysterious connection to his childhood.

She's being chased by a demonic serial killer called "The Night Devil," and Kagachi is charged with protecting her.

Beyond the cut scenes, the game has lots of fantastic art and lore for each character.

Improving your daemons will also unlock their memories, giving you a bit of backstory about how they died.

"Oninaki" has a large map with dozens of unique locations, including a few that only become available after you finish the story.

The sheer variety of combat skills and multiple difficulties give "Oninaki" tons of replay value, and it's easy to pick up and play.

You can find "Oninaki" on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC on August 22.
