It's fascinating to happen upon an old grave early in the game only to discover later whose grave it was and how integral they were to the story. Furthermore, the wider that you explore and the further you dig into the world, whether it be through NPC interactions, in-game landmarks, or item descriptions, the more you can see how interconnected the story is with the environment. While this sounds quite cliche, the main plot is told with such subtlety and sincerity that it becomes genuinely engaging. When that lord is kidnapped, you set out on a quest to rescue him from the nefarious forces who have taken him. The story of Sekiro follows Wolf, a shinobi who has pledged his allegiance to a young lord in feudal Japan at the end of the Sengoku period.
