The game from Ikigai Gameworks will be available on Spring 2019 (October) for all four main electronic entertainment systems.

Press release:
Madrid, Spain, May 28th, 2018: Madrid based development studio Ikigai Gameworks officially unveils new details of its first work: Night & Day. After being shown on several conventions and fairs, Night & Day is officially presented as one of the biggest indie bets for next year: Adventure runner with environments never seen before in the genre and a devilish difficulty that will please even the most hardcore gamers.

The game made by Ikigai Gameworks mixes a spectacular graphic environment in which day and night collide, elements such as shortcuts, bosses and mini-bosses and a game system that, at first glance, seems simple. The game’s mechanics and controls are simple, but its difficulty is tremendously high. Night & Day has just premiered its Steam page, where you can follow all its news and development: Night & Day on Steam.

True to the runner genre, Ikigai title maintains simple gameplay mechanics and seemingly simple controls, but when it comes to playing, Night & Day will test your reflexes like few other titles have done before. Lane change, jump and dash are enough moves to engage you in a spiral of difficulty whose level of challenge is reminiscent of titles like Celeste, Meatboy or Runner3.

As we said, Night & Day presents an story of a complexity never seen before in the genre:
Live the journey of Colwyn and Lyssa, condemned to always be together and eternally separated by a curse. Overcome multiple challenges, touring the forgotten world of Celuria. Confront the red witch and her generals and discover the mystery behind the curse.

Night & Day has been awarded with the Audience Mention Award at the Three Headed Monkey Awards, held last weekend of May in Barcelona.

Main features:
– Simultaneous control of the two main characters, both in single-player and two-player modes.
– Tribute to classic arcade games of skill and precision.
– Simple control scheme.
– Two different local co-op modes.
– Camera angles used provide a cinematic experience.
– Test your reflexes by fighting against awesome bosses and minibosses.
– Narrative driven, challenging adventure.
– Discover the beautiful and diverse environments of the world of Celuria.

Night & Day, the debut feature by Ikigai Gameworks, will be released on Spring 2019 on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC.
