Soul Sacrifice is an action role-playing game in development by Marvelous AQL and Japan Studio for the PlayStation Vita.
The game's concept was created by Keiji Inafune, best known for being the co-designer on Mega Man. The core mechanic of the game is the ability to sacrifice parts of the player character's body or items to create devastating attacks. These sacrifices will be permanently marked on the player character's body, meaning that they are not an infinite resource that can be tapped into. The more a player uses magic, the more they lose their humanity; coming to resemble the beasts they slay who also lost their humanity by abusing magic.

Development
Soul Sacrifice came about when Keiji Inafune left Capcom and thought about a number of ideas for potential projects. He ended up coming with the idea for Soul Sacrifice and thought that it would be a good fit for the PlayStation Vita, so he presented the concept to Sony, who took it up.
Story
The main protagonist of Soul Sacrifice is a slave that serves a powerful and cruel sorcerer. Just before the protagonist is going to be sacrificed, a demon in the form of a book appears before him. The book is a collection of stories that describe past fights between monsters and the powerful sorcerer. The player character is able to enter the book's world and experience the fights, thereby gaining experience and power and essentially acting as the game’s quest structure.
