Oninaki

201967/100
Role-playing (RPG)Adventure
Oninaki's combat system, a frenetic blend of action and strategy, is its most compelling feature, demanding players swap between Daemons to exploit enemy weaknesses. This mechanic, coupled with the somber narrative exploring themes of death and reincarnation, creates a unique RPG experience. Its distinct art style and focus on emotional storytelling, even if uneven, offer an experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

About Oninaki

View Game Details
Reincarnation is the foundation of our way of life. We celebrate the lives we’ve been given, and offer up prayers for the next. It is grief of death which shackles the living, and causes the dead to stray. Indeed, there is no greater affront to reincarnation. So do we turn our grief to joy as we send off the dead. But the souls of those who held back their tears in life still need salvation in death. A duty that falls to the Watchers. Their task is to guide the wandering souls known as the Lost, and serve as keepers of the Living World and the Beyond. The Watchers sever the bonds that tie the Lost to this world, and send them on to the next. They navigate the emotions of the living and the dead. They prize life above all else. This is the story of one Watcher.
