Twin Souls: The Path of Shadows is a stealth game that gives players control over shadows, allowing them to sneak past guards, teleport between shadows, and do a whole range of other ninja-like activities.

Last year, developer Lince Work launched a Kickstarter funding campaign asking for $70,000 to develop the game. Over the course of its 30-day campaign period, it raised $31,000 and, ultimately, was not funded.

Undeterred, its developer has decided to continue working on the game, and--if a newly released gameplay video is any indication--it's shaping up to be a game worth keeping an eye on.

Those that remembered the good old days of Tenchu: Stealth Assassin will undoubtedly have their interest piqued, as Twin Souls' third-person stealth and combat seems to draw inspiration from the series.

Lince Work says Twin Souls is designed to reintroduce the concept of third-person ninja simulators, a style of gameplay untapped since the original Tenchu." While clearly inspired by stealth classic such as Metal Gear Solid, Thief, and Splinter Cell, the game is pitched as "the lost child between Tenchu and Portal."

Its big gameplay twist, however, is the ability to manipulate shadows. This means that players can create pockets of shadows to conceal themselves within. Like some sort of multi-disciplined shinobi from Naruto, protagonist Aragami can also summon giant snakes and dragons from within the shadows to take care of enemies.

The game takes place in a world where humans have mastered the ability to manipulate earth, water, air, fire, light, darkness, and life. As Aragami, an undead shadow assassin, you embark on a quest to free a noble girl from an army of light-wielding warriors.

The journey will take players to places that were important to Aragami in his past life and bring him into contact with personal objects. Over time, his forgotten soul and his undead soul will become entwined once again. Naturally, he'll probably unlock some extra abilities on the way.

Twin Souls is planned for release on
