Square Enix has announced a brand-new intellectual property developed by Tokyo RPG Factory — the ones responsible for
I Am Setsuna and
Lost Sphear — called
Oninaki, coming out for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam in Summer of this year.
As per the game's premise,
Oninaki will see players taking the role of a Watcher — entities that help guide the wandering souls of the dead, those who have strayed on their way to the Beyond, to the afterlife world.
Oninaki features an art style very characteristic to that seen in other games by Tokyo RPG Factory like
Lost Sphear, making noticable distinctions between the world of the living and the world Beyond; giving the game an ever-changing mood that compliments the plot in a very unique fashion.
Take a look:
ONINAKI tells the story of one Watcher on a journey to protect Life, after Death. Players will uncover the mysteries of life, death and what’s beyond as protagonist, Kagachi moving between the Living World and the realm of the dead known as the Beyond.
Oninaki will be available for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam in Summer of 2019.
