Shio is a pleasantly designed platformer adventure in an oriental style, in which the player will have to uncover the secret of the main character's identity. This agile warrior wears a mask that completely hides his face, and it is easier for him to overcome a hundred deadly tests, bypass many traps, jump over all the abysses of the world in one jump than to remember for a moment who he is. The key element of the hardcore arcade Shio, which makes the passage exciting, can safely be called the plot.It is the sad story of the protagonist that motivates the player to re-pass a particularly difficult place for the millionth time, endlessly resurrecting at the point of the last autosave. You will have to die a lot and dramatically: either falling into a foggy abyss, or running into a cogwheel, or meeting a tongue of flame in a jump. Nevertheless, Shio is not about how to elegantly commit suicide, but about how to survive, paving the way through the arcade wilds with the help of flashlights. Lanterns differ in type and complexity, being a kind of magic platforms that do not cause physical harm to the character, and serve as a plot path for the player. Attentiveness and diligence are rewarded with fragments from the hero's past.The atmosphere of the project is perfectly complemented by music. The soundtrack and design of locations at each stage are their own. There are four episodes in the game in total, differing in mood, increasing difficulty of gameplay and even weather conditions that affect the gameplay. And, of course, fans of knocking out achievements will get their own table with almost fifty achievements.
