The Empire has been locked in a relentless battle against the Oni, monstrous demons that threaten its northernmost regions. The grueling winter war against this devouring scourge has raged for decades, pushing the Empire and its people to their breaking point. In desperation, the Empire devises a bold plan to attack the Oni lair. However, unknown forces sabotage the expedition, leaving the fate of the Empire in the hands of four unlikely “heroes.”

Their perilous journey will test their courage, strength, and wit as they navigate the treacherous slopes of Mt. Byōdō. Through their eyes, face the malevolent entities determined to destroy them and vanquish the evil that looms over the Empire.

Players form a party of four heroes, tasked with scaling Mt. Byōdō in less than a fortnight. Along the way, they gain experience as their choices and the paths they take shape the story, influencing the campaign’s multiple endings. Each quest presents unique challenges, from intense combat encounters to lore-rich puzzles and intriguing tasks.
