Yami is a pixel art 2D co-op Metroidvania adventure game, which focuses on the player discovery, through the usage of platforming and solving of puzzles, as well as uncovering lore of this world. Players will be able to control two brothers, Yuyo and Yuki. Both of whom possess the powers of Yami, but whereas the elder brother Yuki obtained a pure version, his younger brother Yuyo’s magic is corrupted.
In order to save Yuyo from the corrupted magic within, Yuki joins his brother in a quest beyond the safe borders of their city, seeking a desperate hope to find a cure somewhere within the Empire of old. Should they fail, Yuyo’s life will be overtaken and fade into the corrupted Yami. The world they traverse is teeming with dangerous creatures and traps alike, but through their bond, as brothers, they will explore the Empire, discovering clues and gathering precious information to find a path forward and a cure for Yuyo.
Players will control two characters, Yuki and Yuyo, who are brothers
who can each control Yami powers, although differently. Yuki, the older sibling, has a pure version of
the Yami magic, while Yuyo has a corrupted version.
Yuyo has the corrupted Yami magic. This corrupted magic makes him sick and will eventually kill him. In
an attempt to prevent this, the brothers head out on an adventure, seeking a solution to cure Yuyo. The
brothers are in a world full of magic and must explore and gather information, finding clues that direct
them towards a cure for Yuyo
"The first major area the two brothers explore, When first entering, there is a gentle yet ominous music, giving the player a sense of the dual nature of the Forest. This is a place of beauty, yet also of loss and an invasive evil..
The creatures inhabiting Kinfallen Forest do not take kindly to strangers, and will not tolerate wanderers through their territories. Shrubbles and uprooters make this forest their home, and have become twisted from corruption to show aggression without provocation.
As the brothers grow in their journey, so too does their abilities and strength. After defeating powerful foes or aiding those in need, Yuyo and Yuki gain new spells and magic, able to rise to each new challenge with their newfound skills and powers.
