Overview
We have been working on this game for almost a year, with a plan to release it in mid~late 2024. This game is inspired by Dark Souls, Hollow Knight and many other games we absolutely love!
We are a very small team (just my wife and myself) and work during our part-time, and we try to focus on enhancing key features such as immersive storytelling, engaging platforming, challenging battles, intensive boss fights, and expansive metroidvania exploration.
