8Doors: Arum's Afterlife Adventure

Arum enters the afterlife to search for her father's soul, journeying through the eight doors of purgatory. The world draws on Korean folktales and is presented in hand-drawn 2D art using a limited palette of black, white, and red.

Explore connected regions, jump across hazards, uncover secrets, battle specters, and face bosses with distinct attack patterns. Arum can use combos and dodges in combat, while rescuing souls and investigating the world move her journey forward.

New weapons, skills, and passive abilities expand Arum's options and help her reach previously inaccessible areas. Weapons can also serve exploration purposes, and collected items contribute to the game's multiple endings.

Players who enjoyed the game often praise its distinctive hand-drawn look and Korean afterlife setting, along with exploring for secrets and collectibles. Some also appreciate the story and music, and find the combat and platforming a satisfying challenge. Opinions are mixed: other reviewers describe the controls, platforming, or boss encounters as rough or repetitive.
