Akaneiro is the latest "twisted tale" from the team that brought you "Alice: Madness Returns". Set in turn of the century Japan, the game finds a battle-hardened "Red" fighting demons, wolves and mythical monsters. Set to be released in 2012 on mobile and online platforms. The Order of Akane is an elite and ancient group of demon hunters. Members of the Order are referred to as Red Hunters. Red Hunters undertake field missions combating the proliferation of Yokai (Japanese folk monsters, ghosts and demons). They are almost Knights Templar-like in devotion to duty and righteousness. In the role of a famed Red Hunter, it is your task to restore balance and quell the restless Yokai by force.

• Become one of the Order of Akane - an elite group of demon hunters inspired by the Red Riding Hood tale.

• Fight beasts & demons drawn straight from the pages of Japanese folklore.

• Defeat the Demon Kings and purge the Yokai Demon threat from sacred Yomi Island
