Akaneiro is an action role-playing game that takes players to a hand-painted world inspired by ancient demons and late Edo era Japan. Players join the The Order of Akane, an elite group of demon hunters, and attempt to rid a village of yokai. The blood of slaughtered yokai turned into crystalline shards called "Karma Shards", which are what the Order of Akane harvest. There is apparently a variety of weapons that can be upgraded as well.
In English, the akane plant is called "madder", which sounds like "mad". "Color" in Japanese is "iro". Thus, "Akaneiro" refers to "the color of akane"or for the developers, "the color of anger".
