Enter Astaria: a world of surreal, dreamlike beauty, realized by a one-of-a-kind blend of 2D & 3D and an oil-painting artstyle
Iria, the young, inexperienced moon witch, must grow in the power of her Ghost Hands to have any hope of throwing down with the massive, terrifyingly beautiful — and beautifully terrifying — bosses that inhabit Astaria
Throughout her journey, Iria will make many allies, and many enemies, but none so magnificent as Isharge, on whose wings she will travel the world
Through new outfits with special abilities, Iria will acquire new powers, new friends to help fight, and most importantly, a current and refined sense of fashion
In her travels, Iria will experience a living planet: changing weather that with it brings new enemies and changes to the environment, as well as moving parallax backgrounds that proclaim the vastness of the world
And all the while, melodies will play in Iria’s mind: melodies of life as the rain falls and becomes the river, and melodies of death as nightmare beetles hunt her throughout their den
