Project helmer also explains game's "sacrifice," "true fantasy" themes in interview video

The official Onimusha, Dead Rising). Inafune describes the game's "sacrifice" and "true fantasy" themes in the Japanese-language video with English subtitles.

The player in the game is a slave to a cruel magician. As the slave is about to be sacrificed, a mysterious "Golam Book" that is actually monster in disguise appears before the slave. It is unclear if this book will be an enemy or an ally. The game will allow for up to four-players in co-op play. In the world of the game, in order to use magic, a sacrifice must be offered. If correct compensation is not offered, magic s will lose their lives. The compensations range from simple items such as jewels to body parts. As magic s become more powerful, they lose their human appearance and will eventually turn into the monsters that inhabit the world.

Inafune, formerly of Wataru Hokoyama (Afrika) are in charge of the game's music.

Soul Sacrifice's videos began streaming in May. The game is slated to ship in Japan this winter.
