This is a metroidvania for the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive.

You play as a shrine maiden on a mission to conjure evil spirits and seal the door to the spiritual world.

The game is all about exploring and fighting. Finding new items and abilities will unlock paths until you uncover 100% of the world map.

You can plug a second controller and press any button, this will spawn a support companion a bit like Tails in Sonic games.

This is currently a prototype, so don't expect too much from it. There are only a few screens, and still a lot of bugs. My current goal is to have the combat and exploration mechanics ready. The game will improve as I publish updates adding new levels and enemies.

Developing a game for the Genesis is not an easy thing. This game is created using SGDK and Gendev that allow using the C language. It wouldn't exists without the hard work of the developers of this devkit.

Of course inspiration is taken from many games that have a special place in my heart: Wonder Boy, Cave Story, Momodora, Rogue Legacy, Touhou, Alex Kidd, Sonic, Secret of Mana, and many more.

I'm not really trying to be innovative, but recreate a classic game on a classic console. If the game ends up having a nice progression, nice cute graphics and enchanting music, I may consider taking the efforts to release it on cartridge. But we're not there yet :)
