Protagonist Yukumo crash lands her airship in an unknown land and must double jump, dash, and airdrop through cherry blossom-covered towns and ancient temples to find the parts needed to repair her vessel. Take in the sights at a relaxed pace with no life bars or timers to worry about. Vibe to a soundtrack by Japanese musician Ujico*, whose music has earned him more than one million YouTube subscribers and 600,000 monthly Spotify listeners.
Explore a beautiful landscape inspired by the art, culture, and geography of East Asia and late-90’s collect-a-thon platformers, complete with a Photo Mode to immortalize the best sights. Complete tasks for the local cat-like Nezu Tribe by completing levels containing platforming challenges. Pick up valuable collectibles like coins, costumes, airship upgrades, and plot-essential paper lanterns known as Sources of Earth.
TASOMACHI serves as the debut title for AAA environmental artist-turned-game developer nocras. His impressive resume includes credits like 3D design on Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn; 2D art for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles 2; and field map design for Pokemon Sword and Shield.
“After my experience creating high-quality environments in such big-budget games, I was so glad to have the chance to flex my creativity and see what I could create on my own,” said nocras, the sole developer of TASOMACHI. “I have such a deep love for the collect-a-thon platformer genre from my youth, and I know I’m not alone in that. I made TASOMACHI for those of you that feel the same and hope it brings you peace and joy.”
