About "Toki no Sho: The Endless Finale"
This is an exploration-based action-adventure game. You play as an editor trapped within manuscripts, searching for the truth behind the "Endless Finale" that has persisted for a thousand years. The goal is to bring closure to the stories unfolding across two different dimensions: the 2D space drawn on manuscript paper and the 3D space inside the villa.
The game's stage consists of a mysterious mansion depicted in 3D, scattered with thousands of manuscript pages, and a beautiful pencil-drawn world rendered in 2D within the manuscripts. The stories unfolding across these two different dimensions will provide you with a new experience.
Hardcore action experience
Based on traditional and somewhat challenging 2D platforming, this title incorporates impactful actions such as moving through ink, along with other unique mechanics that add depth to exploration and combat, creating a rich and varied action experience.
Enemies that attack the player as "Remnants"
After leaving behind a trail of calamity in the real world and passing away, numerous enemies have been resurrected, and fierce bosses stand in the player's way, each with their own story. Defeating them will reveal the mystery of why they fell to such a fate.
Explore manuscripts depicting various eras
The manuscripts showcase numerous stories written by a vampire author who has traveled across lands and centuries.
Traverse a world woven from thousands of manuscripts spanning the Middle Ages, the Age of Discovery, Ancient Egypt, and more, collecting fragments of records penned by the author.
