6 itemsAbout the Game
"Song of Morus: Limbo Express" is a motion-packed non-linear third-person shooter set on a ghost train racing through the underworld. You have to spider-walk across the curved surface of a flying train as it twists like a rollercoaster through limbo. And you have to shoot enemies, and you have to dodge their bullets, and you have to avoid deadly obstacles on the tracks.
Easy, right? Or are you getting motion sickness already?
Story
Our protagonist Wong Chung Song is a Taoist priestess. Under the deity of death, Song and her friends are tasked with escorting a ghost train that transports the deceaseds and joss paper offerings between realms. But not everyone wants the train to reach its destination. Strange figures are interrupting the railway for their own reasons. Some are very insisting and would challenge you again and again. Why do they want to interrupt? For a seat in the train? For the prizes and properties? Or others?
TL;DR, go to interesting places, meet interesting people, and shoot them.
Motion Transcendence
Most action games send effort to avoid motion intensity in hope of serving the majorities. In other words, they never offer the excitment that you probably can handle and enjoy. This one ,however, embraces it. My game will guide you to skim the edge of motion transcendence, with bite-sized game levels and calm learning curve. You don't need to play all levels at once and you can always retry in any time.
Fear Not.
Hong Kong Culture
The game is bringing you to deepest local culture of Hong Kong. Why a ghost train? Because we have rons of ghost station urban legends. Why are there pink skin children as passengers? They are made of joss paper, and parts of the offering. Each level draws inspiration from local folklore, religion, and urban myths. You can learn it if you are interested, as there are fun facts for you to unlock.
If you are not interested, just shoot the moving things. That's also fine for me.
