Yokai dimension, Oni & stealth

Hey guys,

As you can see, we're not slowing down! Here's another update for your viewing pleasure. We're incredibly excited to share some more news with you!

[h2]Yokai dimension[/h2]
Combat is not just a straightforward mechanic in Shadow of the Road. We're working on some features that will only apply while fighting in the yokai dimension. A small preview can be found below. We're still experimenting with those ideas, but we really like the way this is going!

[h2]Oni - Ishida's yokai[/h2]


We have already shown you the yokai versions of Satoru and Asuke. Today we would like to show you Ishida's yokai form. We chose the name Oni and even though it is usually associated wth regular demons, we wanted to add our own spin to it and make it relate to Ishida both in the way of looks and in the way of character. We can't share too much information about Ishida because we don't want to spoil the story, but you can be sure that the connection between Ishida and Oni is indeed a very interesting one.

[h2]Stealth mechanics[/h2]
We have not mentioned before that free exploration will not just be limited to travelling from point A to point B. While travelling you will have to make sure to keep a low profile in some locations as sneaking past your enemies could prove essential and sometimes even save your life. Sometimes being cautious is the best way to avoid unsuspecting enemies that would normally destroy you in an uneven match.
