"Medicine for the body is simple enough. It is the poison festering within the human heart that requires a sharper blade."
Trapped in a remote mountain village cut off by an unnatural, roaring blizzard, two traveling medicine peddlers cross paths under the worst possible circumstances.
You came to the snow-buried settlement simply to trade your wares—only to find yourself cornered inside a splintering storehouse alongside the enigmatic Medicine Seller, fending off a towering, nameless Mononoke stitched from weeping cedar bark, hemp rope, and hollow wooden noh masks.
His ornate Exorcism Sword remains stubbornly sealed. Until the two of you uncover the spirit's Form (Katachi), Truth (Makoto), and Reason (Kotowari) buried beneath the villagers' polite lies, neither of you is leaving this mountain alive.
