Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception /PS4

Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception is a grand story that will delight the hearts and minds of players as it takes them on an incredible journey.

With a beautiful visual novel story experience, intriguing characters, fast-paced SRPG combat, a world-class soundtrack and more, the game is the perfect escape for adventure gamers.

Mask of Deception begins at the top of a snowy mountain, where the protagonist wakes up in an unknown wilderness, surrounded by dangerous creatures, with nothing but a hospital gown and an unforgettable headache.

However, he is saved by a beautiful girl named Kuon, who has both adorable animal ears and a beast-like tail.

Finding that the unfortunate man does not remember anything, Kuon decides to take the amnesiac into her care, naming him Haku.

As their journey takes them across the country, Haku will (reluctantly) meet colorful characters (yes, that means more animal people),

He will build deep relationships, battle ruthless enemies, and find himself inexorably drawn into the political machinations of the powerful Yamato nation.
