We have spent couple of years working on this metroidvania game called Rokudo.Rokudo is an exploration adventure set in the Japanese realms of afterlife (Samsara)!
Minori is a young hermit with a relentless quest to search for his lost faithful companion dog. He must venture into the nearby forest to search for the clue of his dog whereabouts. The game will take the player deep into different Buddhist existence realms (Samsara) such as human realm, animal realm, spirit realm, Asura realm, hell realm and heaven realm. In his relentless journey, he will meet Yokai, spirit, Asura and different Asian mythological beings. The journey is a representation of the protagonist trying to achieve enlightenment.
