Harakiri: Blades of Honor

Players take on the roles of individual heroes in a cooperative, multi-campaign adventure set in a dark, post-war Japan ruled by a tyrannical shogun. Each player selects a character with a unique background, skill tree and personal board, then travel an evolving map, visit towns and shrines, trade, and pursue branching story and personal missions that react to successes and failures. Combat and progression use dice and skill systems: players choose attack styles, manage stamina and kamic energy, trigger powerful but costly abilities, and face folklore creatures whose encounters can escalate based on prior choices. Campaign decisions and character development shape future scenarios and narrative outcomes.
