About the game

KAGEBARA is a one-to-four player co-op beat 'em up set in Hinoe Ward, a city with rules after dark. Students of Hexwood Academy stay out past the last bell to break the urban-legend curses rising across the ward, and every legend points back to one class in 1996.

Every hero fights in their own way, with their own moves, animations and a screen-filling ultimate called a Cursebreaker. Beat a boss and you can claim its power. Play on one couch or online with friends.

About the studio

Crownfield Digital Studios is a small independent studio. KAGEBARA is our first game.
