Umbraclaw

Umbraclaw is a 2D action adventure about Kuon, a house cat who dies in the mortal world and awakens in the Soulplane, a realm of the dead. She must cross its dangerous terrain and face its frightful fiends to open the Boundary, return to the mortal world and find her owner.

Kuon’s journey

A single cat’s death begins a cycle of rebirth. Along the way, Kuon encounters other souls who have fallen into the underworld, some like her and some unlike her. Her story can reach multiple endings, depending on her actions and the player’s choices.

Anima Revive

Any hit kills Kuon instantly, but the mysterious power of Anima Revive brings her back with a new skill. She gains these skills by absorbing the soul of another animal, improving her chances of surviving the Soulplane. She can also grow stronger by transforming into a humanoid form, though the description does not specify what this transformation entails. Kuon can revive up to nine times; she must escape before she loses all nine lives.

The Soulplane

Kuon’s journey unfolds across a dark underworld rendered in hand-drawn art with a paper cut-out style. Its twisted enemies and environments are crafted in the same style.
