If you noticed something out of the ordinary in your daily life, would you ignore it, or take a closer look?

KEMURI is a Yokai Possession Action Game about taking that first step into the unknown.

Welcome to Kemuri City — the city closest to the afterlife, where reality and the other side have never quite stayed separate. As a Yokai Hunter, use the Fox Window to reveal what others cannot see, form contracts with the yokai you encounter, and wear their power as Possession Apparel. Your appearance, your movement, your way of fighting — everything changes.

Play solo or with up to 3 players in co-op.
Welcome to Kemuri City.
Now that you've seen it, it can't be unseen.
 
This part of the SoP proved to me that without story, something that explains more than "yokai culture!!!" which might mean a lot more to japanese people (?), the whole thing felt stylish but very hollow and kinda pointless. Ghostwire would have also benefited a lot by having a functional story, where the protagonist wasn't so boring and empty.
 
The way the game was presented just kinda felt like it threw a lot at me, but I'm left more confused and I guess would need to see more for clarity to even know if I'm interested.

Mostly ambivalent, but it's got some personality at least.
