The atmosphere of the game is criticized for being overshadowed by contemporary cultural issues and political correctness, detracting from the intended immersive experience of a mystical, feudal Japanese world filled with adventure and charm.
“However, after a third of my fox siblings being nonbinary and the rest of the world being equally postmodern, with individual fox spirits being 'theirs' and whatnot, I realized that, yet again, instead of having fun and immersing in a mystical, feudal Japanese world of cunning adventure and foxy mischief, I was being dragged into a BS American culture war anachronism and political correctness that completely destroyed the atmosphere I was looking for.”
