Overview
Ogre Tale reimagines a classic Japanese folktale, flipping the script on the heroic Momotaro. Centuries after the original Peach Boy and his companions vanquished the ogre tribe, a descendant of Momotaro, bored with his mundane life, decides to unleash chaos upon the land. This isn't a tale of destiny; it's a story of a modern-day descendant choosing to become the very menace his ancestor fought against, using yokai and mononoke to cause trouble. Players are thrust into a world where the lines between hero and villain are blurred, tasked with either becoming the new antagonist or perhaps a comparatively less evil one.
