▍Tales of Seikyu Story & Worldview
Tales of Seikyu is set in a lost land called Seikyu, which serves as home to various legendary beings from around the globe. The game offers a blend of fantasy and farming simulation, as players are tasked with managing an old inn entrusted to them by the deity Inari.
The inhabitants of Seikyu have their own unique lives and stories, contributing to the rich narrative of the game. Notable characters include the perpetually tipsy bar owner Shuten-doji, the rebellious and mythology-obsessed folklorist Yoji, and the former mafia boss Otter Andolini who has retired to a life of peaceful dock management.
Despite the idyllic setting and intriguing residents, Seikyu is regularly threatened by the powerful forces of the Old Gods. As an outsider to this world, players must strive to successfully maintain the inn and navigate the challenges presented by these looming threats.
