Who is the man under the mask? What is this place? Why does the same girl always come into his dreams? Play Shio to find the answers, for the mysterious man and for yourself.
Shio is a challenging platformer featuring responsive, fluid gameplay action and an atmospheric, unique art style. The game combines a satisfying chain-jumping mechanic inspired by old kung-fu films with surprising obstacles. As the game progresses, mechanics and elements from previous levels are combined into brutally difficult levels that feel incredibly satisfying to master.
You play as a mysterious warrior with a hidden past, using his skills and yours to work your way through a punishing maze of an ancient Chinese village built by unseen hands. Over time, the story unfolds and you learn more about the man's past, helping him find a purpose beyond the maze.
Key Features:
Original side-scrolling platform game:
Jumping from lantern to lantern has never been more challenging. The only enemy in “Shio” is the environment, and it’s out to stop you at any cost.
Meaningful game environments:
The game is divided into four chapters, each with its own mood and weather. Weather greatly affects the challenges that you will face.
All kinds of traps:
You will find many various traps and obstacles along your path. The key is to learn how each one works and to be familiar with them enough to successfully explore the world.
Background music:
What’s a game without music? Music is front and center in “Shio” with original music composed individually for each chapter.
Sad and mysterious story:
The main engine which drives you to continue challenging yourself and overcome obstacles in the world of “Shio” is the story of the masked man. Nobody knows exactly what happened to him and why he insists on keeping silent.
