Project Title:
Hanako - Soul of the Samurai
Description:
Hanako - Soul of the Samurai journeys through a beautiful, fictional rendition of 16th century Feudal Japan. Players choose between four types of warriors as they learn to master intuitive, directionally-driven swordplay to ensure victory over their foes. Our game features full skill trees per class to boost key stats and choose powerful abilities, engaging multi-map online campaigns and easy to learn but difficult to master combat that seeks to be more than slow gestural combat or simple hack-n-slash.
The artistic qualities and backstory of the game serve as a symbolic tribute to team lead Matt Canei's late mother, and loved ones lost during the production of the game. The territories and war of the game represent an everlasting struggle of life-and-death, health-and-disease and the natural balance of opposing forces to metaphorically represent real life tragedies and to honor those lost.
We went on Steam Greenlight on January 28th and were Greenlit within 9 days with nearly record-breaking statistics on the campaign. With Kickstarter coming up in a few months, now is a great time for us to round out our team with Animators that can join our family and journey towards release.

Beautiful, symbolic environments
Directionally-driven, fluid combat
