Onigiri is set in a fantastical reimagining of ancient Japan, where gods, spirits, and mythical creatures from centuries-old legends walk alongside the living. In this world, a creeping darkness known as the Kamikui casts its miasma across the land, threatening to corrupt everything in its path. Players step into the role of a solitary Oni, an outcast warrior navigating a realm on the brink of chaos. Along the way, eight companions—each with a unique background and set of abilities—may cross the player's path: Ibaraki-douji, Shizuka Gozen, Yoshitsune, Amaterasu, Kaguya, Veronica, Uzume, and Sakura. Together, they form an unlikely fellowship bound by a shared purpose. As battles are fought and hardships endured side by side, the connections between these characters deepen in ways that go beyond mere alliance, weaving a tale of camaraderie set against the backdrop of a land steeped in myth and legend.
