You can also create new temporary pools of shadow in areas where there are none, and combining this with your blink ability gives you a huge amount of mobility options and opportunities. They involve the direct manipulation of shadows, with one of the most important ones being a Dishonored-style teleport, which lets you instantly travel to any nearby patch of shadow.

Your character is a being made purely of shadow, so while his abilities are fueled and recharged by being in the shadows, they are also drained by being in the light. Much like Tenchu or the Shinobido series, Aragami is a third person game where staying in the shadows is of the utmost importance. The contrast between the bright and energetic princess and the stoic silent Aragami bring some interesting moments of interaction, but for most of the game, the gameplay takes priority over story beats and exposition. Throughout the eight hour story, you begin to unravel the reasons for her kidnapping, as well as pieces of memories from both her past and yours. You play as an Aragami, a god of vengeance summoned by a kidnapped princess in an effort to eliminate the people who trapped her and her family.
