## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You awaken a century after your death. Your mission: hunt the betrayer who delivered you and your warrior kin to a dark god. But your comrades scatter across Edo province, seeking one last blade. Ishiodori’s adaptation runs shorter than most arcade matches. It lingers, though, on fighters' resolve.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult
