SYSTEM

Watch what each form can do

  • TRANSFORM

    Change your form to fool everyone around you. There are five forms: Fox, Human, Red Oni, Kappa, and Tanuki. The current Early Access build has the first three. In some places, certain forms are not available.

  • TALK

    Talk to the villagers, and to the Oni of the Oni Village too. What they say back depends on the form you are in, how far the story has gone, how close you are, and how many times you have talked.

  • CHOICE

    Rin's replies are yours to choose. Who gets what, what gets written down. Some quests play out differently depending on your answers.

  • HEADBUTT

    As a Red Oni, hold Special to charge, then release to charge forward headfirst and shatter the brittle rocks in your way.

  • HIP DROP

    Press Down and Special in mid-air to hip drop. Split cracked ground open, and drop into the hidden cave below.

  • YOUR WAY

    There is rarely a single solution. Push through by force, talk your way past, or find another road entirely. Save the world your own way.

Quests

Hear out a villager's trouble, take it on, and see it through.

  1. "We're down to one piece." Everyone in the village has a worry of their own.
  2. Accept a request, and a notice slides in at the top right.
  3. See it through and you are rewarded. From Asane: three pieces of fried tofu.
Check the quests you have taken on at any time from the Quest Log in the pause menu: client, place, goals and reward, all on one page.

Quests from each village

  • Fox VillageFrom Hyoga

    One piece of fried tofu left in the village. Who gets it?

  • Fox VillageFrom Asane

    Light the frying fire again, the one that has been out since the Oni came.

  • Fox VillageFrom Sontyo

    The shrine's rooster never came home. Bring it back to the red torii.

  • Oni VillageFrom Yatsurugi

    Three Kamifoo. Only a headbutt will pop them.

  • Oni VillageFrom Dodon

    The festival drum's skin has torn.

  • The BreweryFrom Moromi

    Deep in the storehouse, three drunks are running wild.

Items

Found by the roadside and in treasure chests. Some you use, some you deliver.

  • Whatever you pick up is shown at the bottom of the screen.
  • Fried Tofu: foxes can stay transformed for a while after eating it. Rin, for some reason, does not need it.
  • Buy from and sell to the travelling merchant. "What are you buying?"
