**Xbox One controller is recommended for gameplay
In Mask Of Semblance, players will enter a living, breathing, hand-painted world. This 2D hand-painted Action-RPG focuses on stylish combat, cinematic storytelling, and moral decision making. The game is designed to be playable forwards and backwards for multiple gameplay experiences. Adventure alone or cooperatively with a friend.
In this new demo, The Boy and The Mask will stumble upon a cursed village full of nomadic tradesmen, sapped of their strength and their will to live on. Influenced by the curse himself, The Boy must fight for survival and the future of the Palati by solving the mystery of the forest.
You wake up in a cold, dark room. The dust and smoke surrounding you shades your whereabouts with mystery. Your senses are stale from the timeless slumber you seem to have woken from. Pain is rushing through your body as you muster the power to stand up from your resting place. Your clothes, your name, your purpose...only a fragment of your memory persists.
A malformed light in the form of eyes, a mouth, and mysterious markings beckons you over.
“Dear boy”, the Mask begins, “let’s make a deal...”, not only greeting you but offering to make a nameless bargain. “I will be your guide in this place if you agree to take me to my master” are the terms. Upon acceptance, the boy's journey begins.
In Mask of Semblance you will be choosing paths, choosing sides, exploring, fighting, solving puzzles, and discovering secrets along your journey. You might also uncover some interesting facts about yourself in the process!
Mask of Semblance covers themes of the self and the mind, as well as the cyclical nature of life. It also incorporates themes of the duality of Nature vs. Technology.

WIP - Working on making the Dzarmat enemy wake when the player is in range, and use a ranged attack to strike you!
We had an amazing opportunity to showcase Mask Of Semblance in Philly at the skyscraper game event! (click to read more)
Introducing a new enemy, Dzarmat!
Hey all! The Phase Strike is a swift attack that requires precision timing to chain and reactivate in succession. Which of the following visual cues do you think provides the clearest feedback as to when the ability is once agian chainable?
We've been hard at work on a new ability for The Boy - Phase Strike!
