Trek to Yomi is an indie, side scrolling action game. While that description probably painted an imagine of a pixel art, Metroidvania game, it is actually a beautiful, black-and-white love letter to Samurai films of the 1950s and 1960s. Trek to Yomi follows samurai Hiroki as he must hurry to save his village from blood thirsty invaders. The game is stylized like those old films, using camera angles and setups that are static, making you feel like someone peeking in on the action.
