The protagonist, a disgraced exorcist named Kaito Kirishima, stumbles upon the stele buried beneath the ruins of a shrine destroyed by the "Edo Fire of the Eight Dogs." Upon touching it, he is bound by a curse: He must locate and "purify" seven "Hollow Thrones" (demonic realms) or be consumed by the stele’s shadow. However, the stele has a mind of its own. It whispers. It tempts. And it has a favorite servant. The keyword phrase "The Dog Princess" is the viral hook that has pulled thousands of players into this grimdark world.
