Oninaki has you playing a Watcher, Kagachi, who is responsible for protecting souls in the afterlife. The belief is that reincarnation is the foundation of life and their connection to the world of the living sometimes can prevent them from moving on. The Watchers job is to make sure the dead move into the cycle of reincarnation by doing whatever necessary—in some instances by sacrificing the living. The game chooses to drive this point in the first mission, giving you a taste of the deep and dark story ahead.
