Umbraclaw is a 2D side-scrolling action/adventure game where you take control of Kuon, a cat on a perilous journey through the afterlife known as the "Soulplane."

Find hope in death. In Umbraclaw, take control of Kuon, a cat who dies in the mortal world and awakens in the Soulplane, the world of the dead. Brave the horrors of the underworld to reunite Kuon with his owner in this 2D side-scrolling action/adventure.

On your adventure through the Soulplane, the "Anima Revive" system will grant Kuon abilities from various animals. These abilities will be key to overcoming the obstacles you'll face on your journey.

The newest game from Blaster Master Zero director Satoru Nishizawa, Umbraclaw is a challenging game that proves that cats are not just cute, but cool as well. The dark-tinged yet lively graphics will pull you into the fantasy storybook world.

Will Kuon be able to break through the Boundary to return home safely...?

Your journey through the afterlife awaits.

Find hope in death.


Key Features:

  • Find hope in death with “Anima Revive”!: Kuon can become even stronger by transforming into a humanoid form, but... Kuon can only revive up to 9 times. "Cats have nine lives," after all. Will Kuon be able to escape the Soulplane before all nine of her lives are lost?
  • Traverse an enchantingly dark and stunning underworld: Kuon’s journey home is lavishly rendered with hand-drawn art, in a style of paper cut-out art. Each twisted enemy and environment has been lovingly crafted by the INTI CREATES art team.
  • A story that will leave a mark on your “soul”: A single cat’s “death” begins a cycle of rebirth. As Kuon struggles to return home, she will cross paths with other souls fallen to the underworld, both like and unlike her. Kuon's story can meet a multitude of endings depending on her and the player's actions and choices. Will you be able to keep your humanity, and Kuon’s felinity, until the very end?

Umbraclaw is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on May 30, 2024.
