Old school Ninja Awesomeness!!!
If you enjoy old school 2-D Shinobi or Ninja Gaiden games, you will enjoy this game as well. The controls are nicely tuned. I found it gets a bit difficult (that could be just my reflexes slowing down as well lol). It has really nice 2-D pixel graphics. The music is pretty good as well. Well worth picking up.

A hidden gem!
Bought this for a friend who has a YouTube channel called Rockinkatreviews. He absolutely loves the game and really respects the music platforming and nostalgic feeling.

Classic Style, Modern Flare.
One of the best Indy games of the last decade. Incredible 8 and 16-bit graphics. Amazing soundtrack. Funny story. If you loved Ninja Gaiden on the NES this is for you.

Follow the last known whereabouts of Carole Simmons to uncover the dark truth behind the Bunny Hall orphanage.Set in the early 1900s, in an age where the phenomenon of the feminist political movement begins to shake the British nation, young Lana Benton, guest of the eerie Bunny Hall orphanage, is the only one to suspect that her best friend Carole didn’t just run away. The secret correspondence between Carole and a mysterious “French” pushes Lana to investigate enough to find herself surviving, poised between the real world and the fantastic kingdom of Corolla that, under the cruel influence of the terrifying Mr.Kyn, the insensitive owl Velenia, and the ravenous colonies of tar bunnies, is inexorably perishing.
