Kunitsu-gami: Path of the Goddess
Kunitsu-gami chronicles the epic clash between the spirit and mortal realms, as the villagers fight to purify the sacred mountain on which they live. Unholy creatures called the Damned, drawn by the desecration that has spread to the surrounding villages, have besieged the mountain. To purify the land and remove them, the spiritual guardian has to perform a purification ritual, but he needs a guide to open the way.

Ava’s creatures
Creatures of Ava is a unique survival game that invites players to explore a world full of wild animals. These once peaceful creatures are now succumbing to an unknown infection that causes them to behave aggressively. Once healed, they form a unique bond that allows them to travel the planet and use their skills to solve its environmental problems. With non-violent combat mechanics designed to heal rather than defeat, and original flute tunes that players must play to tame creatures, the game emphasizes the nature of defense.
