What Is Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau and How Does It Flip Japanese Horror Tropes?
Traditional Japanese horror games usually force players to hide from unstoppable ghosts, but Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau turns that subgenre on its head by turning the protagonist into a formidable threat to evil spirits.
Set in a fictionalized version of Japan where exorcisms are managed by government officials, players control Mizuki Shiraishi, a government exorcist dispatched to the isolated Saiga Village in Nara Prefecture. When the village vanished from the internet and all communications went dark, Mizuki arrived to find all residents missing and unlawful ghosts overrunning the area. Armed with martial arts, holy handguns, and assault rifles, Mizuki fights through horde after horde to uncover who is manipulating the paranormal disaster.
