Recently announced as a 'Game of the Year' nominee in the Brazil Game Awards, Tamashii's eerie combination of puzzles and platforming among eldritch monstrosities and haunted temples creates a uniquely disturbing experience.
"With Tamashii I tried to express to players the same feeling of discovery and confusion that obscure titles of the past provided, using context instead of nostalgia as a primary point," explains developer Vikintor. "The game was made keeping a balance between puzzle platforming, cryptic story and eerie atmosphere. Kind of a darker Monster Party (NES game from '89)"
Since it's release earlier this year on PC, Tamashii has garnered critical and audience praise.
"Aggressively unsettling... jangles my nerves like a dozen spiders crawling across my face"
Rock Paper Shotgun
"...many incredible places for horror-lovers to explore, creating a powerful, stomach churning new reality to get lost in..."
Indie Games Plus
"...one of the most horrifying and tense games out there"
