Nohmen: Blood Rites

Nohmen: Blood Rites is a third-person action game following Kento, a warrior of the Kozuki clan. Returning home after a war, he finds his family’s sacred Nōmen mask shattered and an ancient evil unleashed upon his bloodline. As corruption spreads through the family castle, Kento must fight possessed allies, uncover hidden relics and restore the seal that has contained “The Nohmen’s course” for generations. Bound by duty and guilt, he faces a final mission that may require the ultimate sacrifice to stop the darkness from consuming the world.

Combat and exploration

You fight possessed enemies in fast, close-range combat built around combos, dodges, parries and well-timed counters. The combat draws inspiration from samurai stories and is designed around aggressive attacks, responsive movement and deliberate timing.

Exploration uses cinematic camera angles that frame the action, guide your attention and shape tension and combat readability. Between battles, you solve environmental puzzles that reveal parts of the story behind the curse and provide quieter intervals between encounters.

A shifting camera

The camera combines fixed cinematic angles inspired by classic survival horror with dynamic, spline-based movement. It changes how you see the castle as you explore and fight, helping build tension and direct your attention.
