How it feels

A tense third-person action game where you fight ghosts and demons in dark forests, combining hack-and-slash combat with character upgrades and skill unlocks.

What players say

Players praise the Chinese folklore setting and find the way it channels the film A Chinese Ghost Story fun. Combat relies on skill cooldowns, not combos. The game is extremely dark, enemies routinely appear from behind, and getting lost is common. Length is very short, around 35 minutes to finish, and players are asking for more content.
