About The Infernal Return
Overview
The design of the environment is based on the ancient Chinese underworld myths and legends. Only this time, we broke the stereotypical idea. Presented to the players is a mixture of ancient, modern, fantastic styles.

Story
Koward is a timid guy who doesn't dare reveal his feeling to his girlfriend Mangostina. In order to complete the indicators given by Yama, the King of Hell, the two hell messengers Black and White impermanence abducted Koward with an excuse and brought him to the underworld. Koward's spirit was then imprisoned within Fengdu Ghost City. To escape and resurrect, Koward made a deal with the Styx Lord. While satisfying the price offered by the Styx Lord, Koward investigated the cause of his death, gathered two companions, and finally found the way to resurrect. Meanwhile, he discovered that the abduction seemed to have been a well-planned trick...

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
An entertaining and very inventive video game! The Infernal Return is a clever blend of Chinese mythology and modern ("Western") influences. Obviously, the game developer has a talent for cut scenes with a real mastery for conveying emotion and poesy. The gameplay is fun, easy to handle, most players will be familiar with it. What I love in The Infernal Return? Chasing ghost playing hide-and-seek, motorcycling in the Chinese view of Hell, visiting the dreams of my friends and family, being immersed in flashbacks of Tang dynasty China, seeking rewards and quest items in a variety of dungeons. Can't wait to play next Kinfish creation!2 found this helpful
