As a summoned spirit, shadows allow you to hide from enemies and refill the ability bar, here represented on screen by the different motifs shining on Aragami's cape. As a Ghost, there's some emphasis on hiding and keeping out of the way, whereas if you choose to play as a Demon instead, you can stealthily kill everyone standing in your path.Įverything revolves around the light/shadow contrast concept. The modus operandi is going from point A to B without being detected, and you decide how you'll try to get there. You move slowly, and everything shown on screen is designed for you to take in every detail, including clues on the enemies, moves and gestures, and thus offers up an experience where you need to react and observe in order to avoid mistakes. The narrative is designed so that all the weight is put on the gameplay mechanics without too many distractions or secondary objectives to distract you, something that we found is to the game's advantage rather than its detriment. The story itself doesn't feature any remarkable twists or surprises as it's a pretty standard tale for the genre, but this isn't a bad thing. Both characters must make their way through different areas in 13 chapters, all in all making for a playtime of somewhere between 8 and 14 hours, depending how thorough and patient you are. The way this works is reminiscent to some degree of Navi in The Legend of Zelda, though fortunately for us this princess will only interfere when the narrative demands it. We feel that with Lince Works we are achieving this goal, supporting an awesome team, and helping them to go beyond their original success.Yamiko isn't just a narrative device, however, as she can turn into a spirit to show you the path ahead.

This sequel will bring a sensational new world, story and fresh gameplay mechanics to create a total new experience adding combat and cooperation to our core stealth mechanics. Multiple features, such as the combat system, were scrapped in the early development of the original Aragami game since we didn’t have the resources to build them.
It was as important to us as it was for players, to bring back Aragami and this time we wanted to bring it all in.
