I. Introduction

This is a fast-paced side-scrolling action game with roguelite elements. Follow Hata no Kokoro as she explores and defeats enemies on the stage of Gensokyo.

The game contains many randomized elements such as items, skills and maps. Players can utilize a variety of different playstyles, making each run uniquely different from the last.

Ⅱ. Setting

This is a game about loneliness, self-discovery, and peering into others' intense emotions.

Kokoro is a mask tsukumogami with many bottled up emotions, yet she cannot express these emotions herself. All living creatures experience joy, sorrow, anger and happiness. At the advice of a friend, Kokoro reflects on her life's journey.

Relive the battles she had once fought, her opponents' intense and passionate emotions, and take a peek into the mystery known as her "feelings"...

What are tsukumogami？

Tsukumogami are youkai born out of objects created or used by humans. Over many years, these objects gain sentience and gradually take on a human form.

Ⅲ. Core Gameplay

1. Roguelite Sidescrolling Dungeon Crawl

An infinitely replayable roguelite where each run lasts around an hour!

The map is randomly generated at the start of each run. Clear levels at record speed as you relentlessly explore, learn, and master the game with your own touch of visual flair, just like the exploration in Dead Cells.

Battle against youkai and other magical creatures while exploring the map to obtain skills and items to make yourself stronger and create the perfect synergy tailor-made for your playstyle!

△ Brisk exploration and combat.

Naturally, seasoned players can also ignore skills and items entirely, relying only on sheer mastery over the controls to overcome enemies.

At the end of the map will be a powerful boss where you can put all you've learned to use!

△ Engage in thrilling and exciting boss battles.

2. The Four Emotions

Kokoro possesses four core emotions: Joy, Anger, Sorrow and Happiness, which she can freely swap between during battle. Switching emotions completely changes your attributes, abilities and fighting style!

△ [[b]喜[/b]]. Joy—magic. Outputs a constant stream of powerful magic attacks, supported by a bigger mana pool and wider access to passive MP recovery.

△ [[b][怒[/u][/b]]. Anger—close-combat. Keep up the pressure and deal exponentially more damage by stacking passive damage buffs! The bigger they come, the quicker they fall!

△ [[b]哀[/b]]. Sorrow—survivability. Comes with a shield for soaking damage, but can also be turned off to unleash devastating abilities. The best offense is a good defense!

△ [[b]乐[/b]]. Happiness—anti-armor. Possesses high armor-piercing capabilities as well as massive increase to certain stats, perfect for dodging and weaving through enemies.

We also have a "null" emotion which does not provide any buffs. This is a hidden mechanic reserved for expert players that desire these restrictions for an even bigger challenge!

3. Items & Set Effects

As you explore levels, you'll randomly come across different items which can strengthen your emotions or basic attributes, allowing you to customize and curate your build just the way you like it.

There will be many opportunities to obtain items as you go through the map.

In addition to empowering your character, items also allow you to access a wider variety of options to use in movement and combat. You can plan out your build in advance or improvise depending on what you get in the early game.

Create your own style, whether it's brute forcing, outmaneuvering, or gracefully avoiding enemies.

△ Items will have randomized attributes and emotions.

Furthermore, collecting 3, 6 or 10 items belonging to the same emotion will activate a powerful set effect!

Activating a set effect powers up your character across the board, meaning you can reap its benefits regardless of your playstyle!

△ Item counter glows when enough corresponding items are collected

4. Spectacular Emotion Skills!

Aside from items, you will also gain skills for the character you're playing as!

Skills directly increase your character's combat abilities, as well as opening up new options and adding a touch of visual flair! Knowing how to employ your repertoire of skills will not only make the game easier, it's also the best gateway into crazy combos for those who love to challenge themselves!

△ Plan out how to use your skills for maximum mind-blowing combos!

5. Bosses Become Playable!

Surprise! Kokoro isn't the only playable character in this game! She is the main character—the one whom the story is told through—but there's no reason the other bosses can't be the main character themselves! Unlock these bosses by meeting certain conditions to play as them!

Items affect bosses the same way they do Kokoro, but bosses have their own unique moveset and skills! Each boss also functions differently, so if you ever get tired of playing as Kokoro, you can swap to a boss to keep things fresh!

Kokoro's most mesmerizing combos can just as well be performed by the bosses! Experimenting with each boss adds a whole new dimension to the game's replayability...

△ Mokou unlocked as a playable character after meeting the conditions! Featuring a completely different moveset for an all-new experience even after clearing the game!

6. Don't Forget The Collection

Items, skills, monster info, boss entries, music room... everything is there to collect to your heart's content! Also, it's a Steam game, so achievements are a must!

We've also ensured that these achievements are reasonably designed and require abs
