Ore no Shikabane wo Koete Yuke (2011), often translated as Over My Dead Body, is a deeply unique and emotional Japanese RPG. It is an enhanced remake of the 1999 PlayStation classic, famous for its sumi-e (ink wash painting) art style and its focus on family lineages rather than a static party of heroes. While the PSP version was a Japan-exclusive, it gained legendary status among importers for its innovative “Genealogy” system.

Game Story: The Cursed Clan

The story is set in a mythical, demon-plagued Japan. Your clan has been cursed by the demon lord Shuten-doji with two terrible afflictions:

The Curse of Short Life: No member of your clan can live longer than approximately two years.
The Curse of Ephemerality: You cannot conceive children with other humans.

The Mission: Aided by the heavens, your clan must fight through generations to grow strong enough to defeat Shuten-doji and break the curse. Since each character dies so quickly, the “hero” of the game isn’t a person, but the bloodline itself. You must train your children, pass down your weapons, and ultimately sacrifice the old to pave the way for the new.

Back Cover Description (Translated)

GO FORTH, OVER THE BODIES OF YOUR ANCESTORS.

“The cult classic returns, reborn on the PSP! A clan cursed to live for only two years must embark on a generations-long quest for vengeance. In a world of beautiful, traditional Japanese art, you must manage your family tree to survive.

With no way to bear human children, you must perform the Rite of Divine Union to merge your bloodline with the Gods themselves. Each generation inherits the strengths, appearances, and specialized techniques of their parents. With enhanced graphics, new gods to encounter, and an expanded story, the crusade against the demon lord begins anew.

Your life is short. Your legacy is eternal.“

Key Gameplay Mechanics

Divine Union: Since you can’t have human children, you spend “Devotion” points (earned in battle) to mate with various gods. This creates a new family member whose stats and appearance are a mix of the human parent and the chosen deity.
Monthly Time System: Every action (dungeon crawling, resting, or breeding) takes up one “month” of in-game time. Managing your clan’s schedule is vital, as characters will naturally grow old, weaken, and die of old age.
Inheritance: Weapons and specialized armor can be “passed down.” Over generations, these items can become legendary heirlooms with unique names and massive stat boosts.
Class System: You can assign your family members to various jobs, such as Swordsman, Archer, Spearman, or Dancer, each with distinct roles in turn-based combat.
Urban Development: You can invest gold into your home town to improve shops and services, which aids your clan’s long-term survival.

Short Review: A Beautiful Tragedy

The Good

Emotional Connection: Seeing a character you’ve raised and fought with grow old and pass away is genuinely moving. You feel a heavy responsibility to make their short life count.
Visual Style: The “Ukiyo-e” and “Sumi-e” art style is breathtaking on the PSP screen, making the game look like a moving piece of traditional Japanese art.
Deep Strategy: The breeding system is incredibly complex; trying to “breed out” a weakness or strengthen a specific elemental affinity is highly addictive.

The Bad

Steep Learning Curve: The mix of town management, genetics, and dungeon crawling can be overwhelming at first.
Language Barrier: Because of the heavy use of archaic Japanese and kanji, it is one of the most difficult games to play without a translation guide or a high level of Japanese fluency.
