Enter the World of Utawarerumono Mask of Deception - PS4 PS Vita

A big part of the game takes place in the lands ruled by the mighty Yamato Empire, so it would be wise for the protagonist Haku to learn about the nation's culture and customs.

His caretaker Kuon, along with all the friends he meets on his journey, is more than happy to introduce him to the strange things that populate the world. For example, he learns that "woptors" are ostrich-like animals that are used as military mounts and beasts of burden, and that "amamunii" is a delicious overstuffed wrap that can be dipped in a number of sauces. He's also introduced to "eldcraft" devices such as a massive ship that moves without rowers and a water mill that's engineered with seemingly advanced technology.
