“Shu is a beautiful and engrossing platformer that we’re bringing to PC and consoles with our friends at Secret Lunch.
Control Shu and a colourful trail of hand-drawn characters as they run, jump and glide their way up an ancient mountain, forever pursued by a monstrous and unrelenting storm.
Shu will challenge and delight players with an engrossing 2.5D world, filled with collectables, obstacles and threats. Adventure across the land with the help of hand-drawn characters and their unique powers, forever pursued by a monstrous and unrelenting storm. Shu harkens back to old school platforming classics, but also adds its own unique flavour to the formula, boasting a large cast of characters and variety of fast-paced gameplay, optional time-trials and online leaderboards.
Our protagonist Shu sets out on a perilous adventure to rescue their friends. Together they must escape the grips of a pursuing storm that has torn through their quaint village by the sea. Join Shu and various villagers as they traverse through an array of beautiful landscapes as they work together to overcome a threat to their very existence.
Can you outrun the end of the world?”
