A mysterious virus appears during the industrial revolution that transforms infected humans into Kabane (カバネ?, "corpses") and rapidly spreads. Kabane are aggressive, undead creatures that cannot be defeated unless the glowing heart, which is protected by a layer of iron, is pierced. Unfortunately, most melee weapons and the steam-pressure guns used by the bushi (武士?, "soldiers") are not very effective against them.
