Vernal journeys through Haricot, a kingdom whose land rose into the sky as a chain of floating islands ruled by the Church of Aloe. She is searching for her estranged father and for the truth about her past, and Chervil, an automaton with no memory, travels with her. You explore towns and dungeons in 2D pixel art, defeating enemies and gaining new abilities that open up the map.
Quick combat and tight platforming sit at the center of play, while the story deals with a feud, a hunger for revenge and personal growth. It will appeal to Metroidvania fans who enjoy fast movement and a pixel-art look. It is single-player with full controller support.
