What I Am Setsuna is

I Am Setsuna is an adventure game developed by Tokyo RPG Factory and released in 2016. It was published by Square Enix. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.

The premise, in the publisher's words

"The island had a custom. To maintain peace, once a decade, a sacrifice was offered to a fiend on the island. However, one year, the fiend grew violent before the next sacrifice was due. Those living on the island were afraid and tried to calm the fiend by offering a sacrifice; Setsuna, chosen because of her powers of enchantment. Setsuna must leave with her safeguards for the farthest land, where the ceremony of sacrifice will be held."

What it launched against

Released around the same time: Tom Clancy's The Division, Stardew Valley, Firewatch, SuperHot.
