PERSONAL
Less is More
A painter trades their eyes to a demon in exchange for power. The battlefield is your canvas. The blood of your enemies, your paint.
SUMI adheres to the philosophy of minimalism, to distill an experience down to only it's most fundamental parts. It also aims to be stylish and really really cool.
Each and every action in a player's kit had to earn it's place by providing unique gameplay utility, advantages/disadvantages, and of course oozing style. This same philosophy applies to UI, art direction and most all aspects of the game's design.
