History VideoGame / Utawarerumono

In 2006, a [[BleachedUnderpants clean]] port of the PC game with a new battle system was released for the Platform/Playstation2, sometime after the end of the original run of the anime. It would later be ported for the PSP in 2009 and later, remade in the sequels' game engine for the Platform/PlaystationVita and Platform/Playstation4. It released in Japan on April 26th 2018, 16 years after the release of the original PC game. It's this version that was finally released in the west, as ''Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen'' on May 26th 2020.

* BleachedUnderpants:
** The original PC version had H-scenes, of course. The anime takes all of them out, which unfortunately causes a PlotHole by [[spoiler:also taking out Kuon, Hakuowlo's daughter who plays a major role in the sequels]].
** The remake likewise cuts the H-scenes. The one that's actually relevant to the plot ([[spoiler:Hakuowlo and Yuzuha conceiving Kuon]]) still happens but the scene fades to black before anything is shown.

* ''Videogame/UtawarerumonoMaskOfDeception'' (JP:2015, WW:2017): A sequel released for the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita and UsefulNotes/Playstation4. It is set in the same universe, but has a new main cast, though some of the older characters (including Benawi, Kurou, Karulau, Touka, Camyu and Aruruu) do make their return. It would see a release on Steam on January 23rd 2020 thanks to DMM Games and Shiravune.

* ''Dokapon UP! Mugen no Roulette'' (2020): LighterAndSofter spinoff released for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and [=PlayStation 4=] as a {{Crossover}} with the long-running ''{{VideoGame/Dokapon}}'' series of RPG board games.

* ''VideoGame/MonochromeMobiusRightsAndWrongsForgotten'' (2022): [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo A strangely titled]] {{prequel}} of ''Mask of Deception''. A more conventional RPG affair, it elaborates on the backstory and motivations of characters introduced in ''Mask of Deception''. Received an English release for PC in November 16, 2022 by Shiravune while the original [=PS4=] and [=PS5=] versions received another English translation by NIS America on Spetember 6, 2023.

%% LateArrivalSpoiler: The [[DownloadableContent DLC]] in ''UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}'' spoils not only characters from the next [[VideoGame/UtawarerumonoMaskOfDeception two]] [[VideoGame/UtawarerumonoMaskOfTruth games]] as many of the characters are from or connected to Yamato when it isn't a major power yet, but also their connections the most notable being that [[spoiler: Haku and Oshtor cannot be deployed at the same time.]] This is notable because [[spoiler: they are the same person thus spoiling the end of ''Mask of Deception'' and the beginning of ''Mask of Truth''.]]

** [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/UtawarerumonoItsuwariNoKamen Kuon]], a.k.a., Yuzuha's then-unnamed infant that Oboro was carrying during the game's epilogue]] was cut out completely in the adaptation. This becomes a bit of a [[AdaptationInducedPlotHole problem]] for those who are only familiar with the ''Utawarerumono'' anime, as this character, by then a young adult in the sequel (which was also adapted into an anime), shows up and is highly important to the plot of both the sequel's original game and the anime adaptation (and whose overall main importance originally stemmed from ''this'' game).

** [[spoiler:Played straight with Yuzuha however, who, after wishing to Hakuowlo her desire to leave behind "proof that she lived", resulted in [[VideoGame/UtawarerumonoItsuwariNoKamen Kuon]]. Too bad that neither parent gets to raise the child though.]]

* ''VideoGame/MonochromeMobiusRightsAndWrongsForgotten'' (2022): [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo A strangely titled]] {{prequel}} of ''Mask of Deception''. A more conventional RPG affair, it elaborates on the backstory and motivations of characters introduced in ''Mask of Deception''. Thanks to Shiravune, this will be the first game to be released simultaneously in Japan and the rest of the world (if only on Steam).

* SelfImposedChallenge: The game awards numerous titles for various achievements, such as being undefeated, reaching a certain level, or using everyone's finishing moves.

* ''[[VideoGame/UtawarerumonoLostFlag Utawarerumono: Lost Frag]]'' (2019): A mobile game which builds and elaborates on the lore and universe of the previous games.

* ''Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten'' (2022): [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo A strangely titled]] {{prequel}} of ''Mask of Deception''. A more conventional RPG affair, it elaborates on the backstory and motivations of characters introduced in ''Mask of Deception''. Thanks to Shiravune, this will be the first game to be released simultaneously in Japan and the rest of the world (if only on Steam).

* WeaponOfChoice: Hakuowlo: Steel Fan (''waaay'' more painful that it sounds), Oboro: [[DualWielding Twin Swords]], Benawi: Halberd, Karulau: [[{{BFS}} Huge "Sword"]].

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Averted in the original PC version. [[spoiler: Hakuowlo and Eruruu were both drunk, Karulau drugged his sake, Touka forced herself on him as a misguided attempt to fulfill her duty as an Evenkuruga, and Camyu (or one of her SplitPersonalities) used magic to restrain and rape him]]. However, [[spoiler: PlayedStraight with Ulthury and Yuzuha--both times it was fully consensual and enjoyable]].

* ObliviousToLove: Not a ChasteHero per se, but Hakuowlo's characterization dances close to both tropes. He has a vague idea that his relationships with other girls might make Eruruu jealous -- but doesn't really think about ''why'' she would be -- at one or two points and realizes Karulau is where she wants to be after vowing herself to him, but attributes the wrong (or incomplete to be more accurate) reason to it. Even after said relationships turn physical, Hakuowlo seems to think the girls are a lot more [[FriendsWithBenefits casual about it]] than they actually are or assume other reasons, like Yuzuha's case, where he thinks all the IllGirl wants is a baby. Quite dense there, Hakuowlo. [[spoiler:It is later revealed that, at least in Eruruu's case, he thought she was merely acting on their contract, and didn't actually love him.]]

* IllGirl: Oboro's sister, Yuzuha, is blind and perpetually sick from an illness she's had since birth, and only constant and occasionally very expensive medical treatments keep her going. Even with that, she's expected to die young.

* ''Videogame/UtawarerumonoMaskOfDeception'' (JP:2015, WW:2017): A sequel released for the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita and UsefulNotes/Playstation4. It is set in the same universe, but has a new main cast, though some of the older characters (including Benawi, Kurou, Karulau, Touka, Camyu and Aruruu) do make their return. It would see a release on Steam on January 23rd 2020 thanks to DMM Games.

* ''Monochrome Mobius: Toki no Taika'' (2022): [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo A strangely titled]] {{prequel}} of ''Mask of Deception''. More details will come.

InAWorld in which everyone is a LittleBitBeastly, a strange man wearing an even stranger irremovable mask is found in the forest near a village after a great earthquake. Suffering from serious injuries and [[IdentityAmnesia having no memory of who he is]], he is found and nursed back to health by the local herbalist and her granddaughter. As he recovers his strength, he becomes accustomed to the peaceful farming village and the odd animal traits of its inhabitants, but soon those peaceful days are shattered by violence, and this man, given the name Hakuoro, finds himself inevitably drawn into the center of one conflict after another...

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Averted in the original PC version. [[spoiler: Hakuoro and Eruruu were both drunk, Karulau drugged his sake, Touka forced herself on him as a misguided attempt to fulfill her duty as an Evenkuruga, and Camyu (or one of her SplitPersonalities) used magic to restrain and rape him]]. However, [[spoiler: PlayedStraight with Ulthury and Yuzuha--both times it was fully consensual and enjoyable]].

** Karulau has super strength, great. Her claws are too close range, though, so she wants to use a sword. But... swords aren't really built to take that level of abuse and just making them bigger increases the mass faster than the size, meaning they ''also'' break. Hakuoro eventually has to go to a blacksmith and commission a weapon for her built with no other function in mind except that it won't break or damage its own blade when striking. While the weapon he gets her is referred to as a sword, it is clearly just a very specially prepared massive hunk of metal with nothing like the cutting power or edge of a sword as well as no actual tip. Adult men with super strength can't even lift it by themselves thanks to this design. Karulau manages to pull it off... but the sword still breaks eventually. [[SquareCubeLaw You can't just scale weapons up like normal and expect them to still work.]] The third game in the series even points out the problem of weight disparity when the protagonist of the game muses that the new wielder of the rebuilt sword should be throwing herself around since she only weight a fraction of what the weapon does.

* YouCanSeeMe: In the anime [[WingedHumanoid Kamyu]] has the ability chant herself invisible. She sneaks into Hakuoro's bedroom to take a nap and the invisibility spell wears off. When she wakes up Hakuoro is there just staring right at her. She asks: "Can you by any chance see [[ThirdPersonPerson Kamyu]]?"
** When Hakuoro confirms that Kamyu panics and quickly chants herself invisible again but due to her panic the spell wears off immediately. She doesn't notice anyway until Hakuoro quips in complete deadpan: [[ICanSeeYou "I can still see you."]]
