It is a Japanese folklore-themed game in which players are gathered at a sacred mountain that has been physically manifested as a blight that spreads throughout the land. The flora and fauna are infected and attract creatures that are dubbed the Seethe. These [creatures must be fought and vanquished](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blades-of-fire) in order to create a clear path for the Sprit Stone Maiden. She can find her way to perform the 'rite of cleansing' to then restore the land. Capcom does also note that Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is meant to follow in the footsteps of previous titles of the same theme.
