Tasomachi

There’s only one problem though, the town appears empty and the only inhabitants are a strange cat-like species.
So, as Yukumo, the player sets off on an action adventure to freely explore this oriental fantasy town. Discovering scenic locations on the way, Yukumo can explore highways, bridges, ravines and more picturesque environments. The game’s main objective is to clear dungeons and collect items to fix the downed airship.
