Game Features
- An epic story where reality is not what it seems... Help your hero unravel what lies deep in his own mind before vanquishing evil!
- Explore a vast and colorful yet dark semi-open world filled with creatures of all sorts, from the small critter to the giant fantastical beasts. Progress through a miniature interpretation of a feudal Japan filled with luscious backgrounds and interconnected caves.
- Find a wide range of embryos that will grant you powerful new skills and abilities to fight foes, reach new areas, and progress through your adventure.
- Experiment with VR interactions through first-person cameras during puzzle moments and control your hero in third-person. Put aside your motion sickness as most of the game plays with fixed cameras. Just sick back, relax but fight!
