Afterimage is a 2D action adventure with hand-drawn art, set among the ruins of a fallen fantasy world. You play as Renee, a young woman who wakes with no memory and sets out across a large, interconnected map, uncovering what happened to the land as she goes. Combat is quick and central to the experience, and you can shape your character through skill choices and weapon types.
The structure is close to a metroidvania, with branching paths, backtracking and areas that open up as you gain abilities. It is a single-player game suited to players who like exploring big maps, experimenting with builds and fighting demanding bosses at their own pace.
