A 2D Action-Plateformer in a Post-Apo Dark Fantasy universe (Who say Shin Megami Tensei!).
The setting is introduced right from the first minute: a city overrun by demons, the protagonist loses her boyfriend, her legs, and is forced to make a pact with a dying fiend to survive and get new legs. She wakes up three years later to find the city corroded by demons. (Did I already mention Shin Megami Tensei?) The sprites are minimalist but manage to evoke a certain mood, and the environment does a great job of conveying the feeling of despair. The gameplay starts off very simple, just basic movement and one type of attack. But as you explore, you unlock more abilities for combat and exploration. Is this a Metroidvania? Anyway, I feel like the game’s balance (seriously, screw the first boss) and the exploration serve a single purpose: to advance the story. There's a surprising amount of text for a game like this, and the characters are really charismatic. It's such a shame they aren’t voice-acted.
