Dear Reader:
New details on Oninaki's Lobelia and Leo, as well as traveling between the Living World and Beyond
We shared a new batch of screens and art for Oninaki a few days back, and now we have some details to go with that. Check out info on characters Libelia and Leo, as well as the world-shifting mechanic below.
Lobelia (CV: Atsuko Tanaka)
- a sovereign who lives in isolation, only trusting herself
- apart from remaining at distance from others, she barely shows herself
- some of her subjects don’t recognize her appearance due to how little face-to-face interactions she has
- Lobelia will uphold the reincarnation cycle above all else, to the point of obsession
Leo (CV: Hiroshi Shirokuma)
- Lobelia’s loyal right-hand man, and true-born son
- the sovereign is the only one he trusts, and he has respected her as a leader rather than a mother since his childhood
- Leo does not have any friends, nor any other people he trusts, but he has never felt anguish over that
- with his blind faith in the sovereign, Leo takes upon an antagonistic position against the Watchers
- the Watchers heed the words of other beings
Shifting between two worlds
- the world in the game is split into two planes, the Living World and the Beyond
- Watchers can go into both worlds at their own will,
- the first time the Watchers visit certain parts of the Beyond, it will be masked in darkness, making it hard to fight
- by defeating certain enemies that are linked to the Beyond, they will be able to return the Beyond to an explorable state
- the two worlds have different rules
- the Living World objects are breakable and can be interacted with
- the Beyond’s versions are not
- you can go into the Beyond to use the unbreakable gravestones as cover
- some places will require you to pass over in the Living World, as things like levers don’t function in the Beyond
- the Beyond also has treasure chests that contain items left behind from an unknown era
- the Beyond also has "spacequakes" that warp Kagachi to places unreachable in the Living World
- the ‘Rules of the Beyond’ can affect battle by causing various conditions to impact both Kagachi and the enemies.
- one Rule makes every attack becomes a critical hit
- the Watchers have the ability to detect the presence of lost souls wandering around with lingering regrets
- their task is to guide them back towards reincarnation by helping solve the reasons for their lingering will
- there will be encounters with Daemons awaiting Kagachi, who will lend their power to turn the tide in his favor
- you are able to quick travel between areas in a world that you have been to
