— Videogame Heroines ABC Round 2 —
Qirin is the explorer of the fortress of Ecdysis, from the game sharing this name. An exploration/platforming FPS, the main focus is on environment traversal, and the feeling of weight of the movements for each jump, grab, climb, wall jump and more.
The game is centered around the quest of Qirin for the source of the curse of lycanthropy, of which she is afflicted - she has a couple of days left to find the secret in the heart of the castle, and choose how to take hold of her future. To that end, she can either reject her new powers for as long as she can, and develop new traversal tools, or revel in her growing surnatural force and use the castle itself as a means of transportation, by liquefiying through cracks, passing through walls and more.
As times pass, the structure of the fortress crumbles progressively, rendering passageways inaccessible and creating others, making the maze like structure dynamic and the exploration always about discovery instead of backtracking.
