It is a 16-bit monster-battling RPG franchise in early development. The ultimate goal is to develop an MMO with a persistent open world but development is split into more manageable phases.

It is the first title in the Glyph-Bound franchise. Set on the Akitsu Isles, it is heavily inspired by feudal Japan and Shinto beliefs. The Shinto word "Kotodama" refers to the mystical power of language.

A glyph is any carved or inscribed symbol. They can be stand-alone markings or letters within a writing system. The glyphs in "Kotodama" are inspired by Japanese kanji and Chinese hanzi. Players use glyphs to bind Kami to their will and are therefore referred to as "Binders".

Kami are animist spirits that represent and personify the forces of nature. From icy mountain tops to thick rainforests to the stormy seas, it is the activity of wild Kami that shape the world of Glyph-Bound.
