Overview

• A Kurosawa homage delivers black-and-white cinematography with film grain and vintage audio, with the Kurosawa Estate publicly credited for the collaboration.
• Watanabe Mode replaces the score with a dynamic lo‑fi soundtrack that shifts with exploration and combat while preserving original sound effects and voice performances.
• Miike Mode tightens the camera and amplifies gore for a more claustrophobic, weighty combat feel, and the game warns that large encounters may become harder to read.
• Players enable the modes in Settings under Display, where all three options appear below the Graphics Mode selection.
• Current coverage offers subjective rankings, with FandomWire placing Miike Mode first for matching the revenge narrative and calling Watanabe’s lo‑fi approach a tonal outlier.
