This is a fascinating action game in which you and your dog Musashi explore the mysterious land of Mononoke. While completing various quests, you will explore 12 different areas and unravel the mysteries hidden in the age of the gods. In each area, you will meet different Mononoke, and work with them, and sometimes fight with them, to advance the story. Eight areas have their own unique Mononoke cultures, such as cats, demons, and tengu, allowing you to not only enjoy the scenery, but also unlock new tactics and crafting elements.

Through free village building and boat trips, this 3D open-world action game adds the fun of discovering and exploring unknown islands, as well as the tension and strategy of a rogue-lite dungeon crawl! In combat, players fight enemies with swords, bows, and other weapons. Craft materials can be used to create new equipment, and a tactical approach is possible by combining weapons and abilities that are effective against specific enemies.

The game is also rich in mystery-solving and exploration elements, and players can learn more about the history and culture of other worlds by investigating the divine ruins and ritual sites that can be found in each area.

The story begins when Musashi wanders into the Land of Mononoke. It is a story of bonding and destiny as you follow the secrets of the world and the reason why you were called to it together! Musashi is the key to the game, a dependable partner who also provides companionship and comfort. Many skills are unlocked as you build a relationship of trust with him. The friendly graphics and simple controls make this a recommended game for all ages.
