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!

Pre-orders are now available for Nintendo Switch (North America only) and Steam.

Key Features:

• You play as Neon White, an assassin plucked from Hell to compete with other demon slayers for a shot at redemption.
• Collect “Soul Cards” to attack your foes or discard them to use unique movement abilities.
• Compete for the best times by cleverly combining cards to discover massive shortcuts.
• Uncover Heaven’s mysteries by getting to know the other assassins.
