After an attack destroys her village, Renee, an amnesiac young woman, sets out across Engardin to recover her memories and find her missing mentor. Her journey leads through a ruined fantasy world shaped by an ancient catastrophe and forces threatening its scattered survivors.
Explore a vast, interconnected map of distinct regions, uncover hidden paths and treasures, overcome traps, and fight a wide range of enemies and bosses. Renee also meets residents of Engardin and can take on side quests that reveal more about the people and places she encounters.
Defeating enemies and finding rewards helps Renee grow stronger: invest talent points, unlock weapon skills, and equip weapons, armor, and accessories to suit your approach. New movement abilities open routes through the world, while choices and discoveries can lead to different endings.
Players who enjoy Afterimage often praise its hand-drawn environments, varied regions, and the scale of its world to explore, with secrets and new abilities giving them reasons to keep searching. Weapon choices and character progression also appeal to some, alongside the music. Experiences differ on combat and difficulty, while recurring frustrations include unclear directions across the large map, lengthy backtracking, and a story many find hard to follow.
