In ancient Japan, there is a war between the armies of the Light and the Dark. This war has raged for centuries, and resulted in the utter defeat of the Dark, sealing them and their powerful magic away. After gaining enough power to project herself through the seal, a sorceress and aide to the Dark Empire summons an Aragami- a vengeful spirit that is meant to obey the wishes of the summoner to kill the summoners enemies. The Light Empire has been opressing the Dark for years, and it is up to the sorceress and the Aragami to free their Empress and take revenge on the Army of Light.

Gameplay is inspired by Videogame/Tenchu. It is entirely stealth based, as Aragami cannot take a single hit without dying. However, he is armed with the ability to teleport to any shadow in range, create his own shadows and more. The game is also encouraged to be replayed multiple times due to it's open-ended level design and numerous unlockable powers. Aragami can also blend into the shadows to hide, and the game can be beaten lethally or non-lethally.
