Afterimage is a 2D hand-drawn style Metroidvania game. In the game, you will play as our heroine Renee who lost her memory, explore the secrets of the entire "ENGARDIN" world. Like many classic Metroidvania games, there will be 15 different styles of maps, more than 130 types of monsters and more than 20 BOSS battles in the game. At the same time, there will be at least many different weapons and many skill talent combinations to allow players to form their own combat style.

I also found that the background of the letters on the main screen is cropped from the bottom and top.

Add the option to disable the damage display. It's really very distracting

I found a bug in the switch version.
This is a bug related to the "Masked" mission.
Collecting all the mask fragments and talking to "Sun" does not progress the mission.

Thanks for such a great game!

Hi. Seen that there was an update to the Switch version, but ever since the update, the game is not running smoothly. I didn't have a problem for the most part before the update. Now when I move around, the game is freezing, skipping a lot of frames and I'm constantly crashing into enemies. It's all very choppy. Just play it normally on Switch, and it keeps happening like every 15 seconds. Please look into this. I've gotten very far into the game and want to finish it, but the game is very hard to play like this. I know the Switch is underpowered, and the cheapskates at Nintendo refuse to make a Switch Pro so games run better. For that reason, I don't always blame the dev's. And Nintendo better make a Switch Pro backwards compatible, so Switch games run better, or I'm just going to play games on Playstation ( a much more powerful console ). Maybe I should get the Steam Deck, but I'm not a fan of only digital, I dunno. Anyways, please look into this for me, cause your Metroidvania is very, VERY good! Thanks!

I know the developers deserve more, but you can not sell it at this current price in Turkey. Its price is similar to RDR2, Cyberpunk 2077, AC Valhalla, Hitman 3. They are even cheaper in steam sales. So no one pays the same for a indie game when they can buy AAA games.

As an indie lover, I ask you to reduce the local price of the game to reasonable values

(Btw I know the new steam regional pricing policy but it is not sustainable in my region. Prices are too expensive for purchasing power)

Inability to Travel across Misty water, please help.
So my brother and I have this game, and I will say straight up I absolutely love this title and I have played pretty much most known or relevant metroidvanias that I have heard of.

But my brothers file for whatever reason after reaching level 70 was told he is not able to travel past the mist/fog in Misty Waters to get to the main quest. He is not able to light the lantern on the ship when he hits it like I did and just stays out in limbo on the sea being stuck. Was hoping someone could tell me if this is a bug or perhaps you need something to light the lantern to keep mist at bay I cannot recall and have looked up online to no avail. Just so you are aware he already beat many of the bosses and has gone all around anywhere you do not need to go under water to get to.

[ToctheYounger]

If anyone could get back to me to my above comment I would appreciate it. Like I said his game is clearly bugged, he cannot get through the mist going to the plain of hydro due to the switch not lighting the lamp when he tries to hit it. Due to the vague quest directions in this game he was uncertain whether or not it was nearing the end of the game and instead of going to the plain of hydro he turned back part way there on the ship. He is no longer able to progress in the game and has leveled up to 71. He is very disheartened so I would like some help to fix his games corruption and or bug that has occurred. Please get back to to me as soon as you can. Thanks for the your time

[Kenny R.]

did you hit the lamp with the sword?

[ToctheYounger]

lol Yes, I have multiple times no light appears on the game he has and it doesn't allow for him to make it to plain of hydro or whatever it's name is. it is definitely a bug he has killed all bosses that you can reach with water breathing ability.

[ToctheYounger]

Should I just assume the devs do not have a fix for this and cannot help his game and tell him to delete his file?

[Kenny R.]

You must be missing an item to get the lamp to work. What version are you playing on? Steam? Switch? etc. I got it to work no problem. You got me curious to know if there's a bug that isn't being addressed.

[asennad]

I just purchased this game on Steam. The initial feel is very good.

I have one point of concern.
I have a dualsense connected, but the user interface is not the PlayStation one.

Is this a specification? Am I doing something wrong?

[solamon77]

I really hope you guys are still listening. Soulless Ode isn't appearing in my game. I've spend 45 hours so far and I've done everything else in the game. All that's left is moving onto finishing the mask. I think it's bugged for me. Anyone have any advice? Am I missing something?

[Caleryth]

Hello Devs team, I hope you're doing well.

Loved your game and I truly hope more people will buy it.

I'm not sure of where I should post this, but I stumbled across some bugs that I wanted to share (at least the one I remember):

(If you're a player reading this and did not do the game, this may spoil you so take care).



1) The skill on the double dagger Celestial Remain "Blinking Wywern" is incredible but tend to be quite buggy.
The position in which Renée will came out change even though I do it from the same distance, and sometimes she appear directly on top of the enemy though he didn't move.

Would be nice to have it be constant, and maybe give it some invincibility when she appear and strike if the task prove to be difficult ? I'd love to use it more but because of these two factor it was hard.

2) On the Rainbow Plains, on the west side, if we go up then right until we touch the invisible wall and keep close to it, if we open our map we appear in Resting Town.

3) The frog enemies block themselves way too often after they jump. They "dig" in the ground and stay like this for 2-3 seconds at least.

4) The double dagger given by the Fairy Sé which shoot projectiles tend to block themselves in wall when attacking near them. While it is not that problematic it does make quite a lot of sounds.

5) The Boss Brandr, the Blazing Blade has a very strange hitbox on some moves. Most notable is when he strike from upside down with his word, Renée can go through it if she in the upward part. If this is a wanted interaction then I said nothing.

The rest is just mostly some translation error for French language. I did see more than that but didn't remember them.

- At resting Town, the first NPC is a guy but is called "Villageoise" instead of "Villageois"

- In New game + chapter 8, "Maudit journal !" should be written "Le Journal ! maudit sois-tu" to have sense.

- During Emily Quest at Pyro Field, there's a moment when Ifree is speaking but we hear Renée voice. This happened at least 2 others times but I do not remember when.

- This one is just my grain of salt, but for the legend quest I felt like that the hint given "Vagues Inversées" (Inverted Wave I suppose in english) was kinda hard for us to find him compared to the others hint before and after (since there's no water at all where he's unless I'm blind haha).

I played the game with French subtitles and English voices, if that change anything.

Lastly, I'm not 100% sure because I may have forgotten things (I did check online for it though in case) but trophy aren't added when succesfully finishing some of them.

Like having all accessory, I have 52/52 in game but no trophy. I believe I bought everything (and ate everything) as well but got no trophies for it.


Thank you if you took the time to read this !
