Jump into a story focused around a child-like soul named Ki set in the realm of the afterlife. Players will help guide Ki on a journey to recover past memories of their past life. During this process a connection to another soul across space and time will be revealed.
To navigate the afterlife players will use a unique align-to-shoot mechanic, the Soulflame. Throughout each level are various power crystals that when fired upon with the Soulflame will activate a special power. There are many different crystal types to aid Ki in navigating towards a level’s end gate.
Levels tend to have more than one path towards the end gate and there are bonus objectives for the player. Completing these bonuses builds up Ki’s essence counter. Powerful ancient artifacts that boosts Ki’s abilities can be unlocked with the essence counter.
In the vibrant realm of the afterlife handcrafted illustrations stunningly colorful environmental backdrops fill each level with constant eye candy.
