A Cosmic Journey: Ghost SongÂ
Ghost Song, the atmospheric and evocative 2D adventure, transcends the boundaries of traditional gaming experiences. Unlike its digital counterpart, the physical edition immerses players in a tangible journey, capturing the essence of the enigmatic Lorian moon.
Descend into the depths of the night, because it is only there that you will discover (or is it remember?) the truth.
Find out what is hidden beneath: Explore the winding alien tunnels and long-abandoned laboratories of an enormous, wonderfully designed 2D environment inspired by the Metroidvania series. This realm is full of hidden chambers and a spooky past. Acquire powerful weaponry and game-changing new powers buried deep inside the moon’s depths to advance in the game and gain access to additional layers of the moon’s surface as well as optional secret places.
Take on adversaries that will test you: Respond quickly and accurately to the challenges posed by the alien fungi and metal husks that inhabit Lorian. Gain levels to increase your power, and equip your suit and blaster with a variety of modules to personalize them.
Learn the particular rhythm of the main combat in Deadsuit by using the blast and bash mechanics. As you pummel your foes with your rapid-fire blaster, you’ll build up barrel heat, which will make your close-range assaults more effective. You are not the only one stranded in this strange location; there are other entities just like you. You will come across a cast of vocal characters and learn their own stories of surviving against the odds, showing bravery, being abandoned, and finding forgiveness.
