Shintaro Curse and The Soul Severing Blade is a 3D action-adventure third-person perspective game. The game follows the story of a young monk, a half human and half demon who must take a stand against the conflict between two worlds.

Shintaro's creation process was interesting, as the clothing options developed became part of the plot: to better enjoy the beautiful concepts developed, we chose to have one outfit for the beginning of the character's journey and another for the end.

Another interesting detail in Shintaro's creation was the development of the aesthetic alteration between his human and demonic versions. This should be evident to the player, as it was decided that clothing should not change between the two forms. That's why he wears the costumes differently when he transforms. Thus, his state of mind is more evident through this aesthetic solution, behaving more aggressively when he assumes his demon form.
