Contrast Games today released a free playable demo and a new gameplay trailer for Akatori, a 2D metroidvania where players wield a mystical staff to fight, jump and explore diverse realms across different eras. Players take on the role of Mako, a young monk who embarks on a journey through interconnected worlds to save her homeland from the Amber Storms - a corrupting force distorting all living things - accompanied by a mysterious red bird sealed within her staff.
