Developer Aurogon Shanghai announced today that its hand-drawn, 2D-animated action-adventure game, Afterimage, is now 100% fully funded on Kickstarter, with a free playable demo now available on Steam. Surpassing the initial funding target in just 40 hours, the Afterimage Kickstarter campaign is now over 260% funded with more than 1,100 backers in one week. With the Kickstarter campaign ending on April 21, new stretch goals will continue to be revealed adding more content and features to the project, assuring the Kickstarter community that Afterimage reaches its full potential when launching this Winter on PC and consoles.
Inspired by legendary Metroidvania games like Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night and Ori and the Blind Forest, Afterimage takes place in the imaginative world of Engardin. Once a magnificent realm of magical life and fantastic beasts, the land has been ravaged by the folly of human ambition and warfare. A calamitous event has ruined the land, corrupting the souls and behavior of native species and humans alike.
Embark on a journey as Renee, a girl who lost her memory during the great catastrophe, as she retraces her steps to uncover past memories. Explore vast interconnected areas, traverse complex platform puzzles and encounter amusing characters that may help or hinder Renee’s journey. Discover a hauntingly beautiful yet dangerous world using Renee’s graceful weapon attacks and magic spells to defeat menacing and bizarre enemies.
As Renee recovers lost memories and delves deeper into this hauntingly beautiful hand-drawn world, new weapons, skills, and magic spells will be learned. Customize the talent tree to upgrade Renee’s attributes, utilize passive abilities to bolster fighting techniques, and switch weapons on-the-fly during challenging boss fights. Gather tons of collectible loot and look out for lost recipes – give these to wandering chefs and they’ll make mouth-watering dishes with unique buffs!
