Kemuri is a Yokai-hunting action game set in Kemuri City, a chaotic blend of the living world and the afterlife where hunters track, fight, and contract with spirits.

Hunters use the Fox Window to reveal hidden truths and wear Possession Apparel that can alter their abilities, including embodying yokai within outfits.

The game, Kemuri: Hunt the Unseen, is a co-op action title that emphasizes chaotic, stylish combat across a city inspired by Asian aesthetics.

The State of Play trailer is visually bold and ambitious, though questions remain about how the final gameplay will feel and how coherent the full game will be.
