Neon White features a hellishly clever story that proves it's never too late to ask for forgiveness.

In Neon White gamers play as White, an assassin hand picked from Hell to compete with other demon slayers for a chance to live permanently in Heaven. Since True Believers can’t kill anyone, he, along with the other Neons, are tasked with dealing with an evil demon infestation. Using magic playing cards that transform into weapons, the Neons compete with one another for a chance to win the Mechanical Halo, a device that will allow them to stay indefinitely.

Neon White uses a light card-based combat system, wherein each “Soul Card” card represents a limited-use weapon that can be discarded to activate a special movement ability (Dash, Jump, Stomp). New cards are revealed by defeating demons or finding them in treasure chests placed around the world. Assassins must balance using Soul Cards as attacks or discarding them for movement abilities. The only way to increase their Neon Rank is by earning medals for fast times!

Publisher Annapurna Interactive and developer Ben Esposito revealed that Neon White will have a playable demo available as part of Steam Next Fest starting this Monday, February 21 until Monday, February 28.

To celebrate Next Fest and the demo’s release, Neon White’s creator Ben Esposito will be featured in a livestream hosted on the game’s Steam page. The livestream, beginning at approximately 11:45am PT, will touch on Neon White’s development process, discuss the playable levels and what players can expect when the game launches.
