The Plot

Shadow Behind the Leaves is a fantasy adventure taken in the role of Onima, a young female character living with the little family she has. She finds her brother floating down the river on a dead. The police arrive and investigate, however their investigation appears some what half arsed and Onima picks up upon this and begins her own investigation into finding great truths about the world and her brother's death, in order to find the truth she must find the reaper of her brother. And to do this Onima must pass onto another realm, which she is able to do in her physical self. She needs to find an elixir that can separate her mind and body so she can embrace this quest, but she must find that one who can make such a potion.

The demo?

The demo will be an entry for a competition and time is running out for it, so I hope to make a demo demonstrating the mechanics of the game as well as taking a little bit of the story. The part of the game that will appear in the demo is where Onima meets the Shaman of Transmigration, who lives by a cave on a palm tree island alone and restricted from visitors. The point where Onima's mind and body separate.
