GAMEPLAY

The protagonist, Zoe, is magically transported to the land of Alwa, where she must rescue the helpless citizens from an evil overlord and his henchmen. The gameplay is modeled after the 8-bit era of console games, and it uses pixel art graphics. It is a Metroidvania-style game, a subgenre of side-scrolling video games with puzzle-platform elements. The game implements checkpoints, where players can resume playing if they are killed. Players can respawn like this indefinitely.
