INTRO
CONCEPT:
A roguelike, replayable RPG starring a shrine maiden as its heroine.
The Kagura series has made it its mission to deliver on this promising premise--and now, for the first time, it's also delivering with a simultaneous international release!
More StoRy event scenes, deeper characters, and a richer world than ever.

STORY:
In a quiet forest, far from any settlement, there lives a girl named Kuon Makami.
Having lost her mother not long ago, she spends her days alone with the wolf pup who is her best friend.
But the peaceful times come to an end when a strange pall falls over the forest, bringing with it occasional incursions of dark spirits.
Determined to find the source of the problem and stop it, Kuon begins training as an exorcist shrine maiden and sets out to brave whatever dangers lie within the depths of the woods...

FEATURES:
1. A replayable roguelike adventure!
With roguelike RPG gameplay, the dungeons you'll adventure through and the foes you'll face there will be different on every playthrough.
Fan-favorite “Dawn of Kagura” series features like the Pandemonium and Youkai Soulshare systems are back, so remember to buff up your recruited youkai buddies before you take the fight to the enemy!

2. More StoRy CGs than ever!
The StoRy now features more CGs to illustrate the action. See the characters and setting in sharper focus than ever before.

3. Unlock special interlude scenes!
Special nodes will sometimes appear on the map that allow you to unlock secret interludes. These scenes standalone from the main StoRy and bring a new window into the characters and world!

CHARACTERS
Kuon Makami
Voice: Hanami Takanashi
A girl who lives in a mountain shrine, secluded from the mortal world. Cheerful, straightforward, and pure of heart, she hasn't encountered another human being since her mother died, which has left her remarkably naive.

Luckily, she's also a demigod, sired by the deity Makami-no-Okami, and trained in swordsmanship and other arts by her mother, an exorcist miko. Although a newcomer to the realm of exorcism, her bloodline lends her impressive potential--if she can only learn to harness it.
