Hello everyone! ⚔️🦾
Steam's Cyberpunk Fest has officially begun! (I know we're slightly late to this) but... and we’re excited to welcome all the new players discovering Ghost Yantra for the very first time.
For those who are new here, Ghost Yantra is a hand-drawn 2D Action Platformer set in an Indian Cyberpunk world, blending fast-paced hack-and-slash combat with fluid parkour-inspired traversal.
What makes Ghost Yantra unique?
⚔️ Fast & Rewarding Combat
Master aggressive melee combat, stylish combos, aerial attacks, and challenging enemy encounters that reward precision and skill.
👟 Fluid Parkour
Run, jump, climb, slide, wall-run and move seamlessly through interconnected environments designed to
keep you in constant motion.
🇮🇳 Indian Cyberpunk World
Indian Cyberpunk world where cultural themes & wisdom clashes with Cyberpunk themes.
🎨 Hand-Drawn Art & Animation
Every character, environment is hand-drawn and every animation is hand-animated. Lovingly crafted by hand to create a distinct visual identity. No GenAI whatsoever!
A message to everyone who’s been following Ghost Yantra
To everyone who has wishlisted the game, left a comment, kept conversations going-on in our Discord community, or simply checked in on our progress…
Thank you very much! 🔥🫡
Your support means far more than you might imagine. As a small indie team, every wishlist and every encouraging message motivates us to keep pushing the quality of the game higher.
Over the past months, we’ve been focusing on strengthening the core experience rather than rushing toward the finish line. That means refining combat feel, improving enemy encounters, polishing movement, expanding environments, and ensuring every system comes together the way we envisioned.
What we intend to do with this demo is...
We want the first demo of Ghost Yantra to leave a lasting impression.
Behind the Screen
As part of Steam Cyberpunk Fest, we wanted to share a small glimpse into that process.
The art below includes some early FX explorations for Narak and concept explorations for one of the boss encounters. While these are still works in progress, they offer a look at how we’re shaping the visual language of Ghost Yantra.
We hope you enjoy seeing a bit of the journey behind the final game.
What’s next?
We’re excited to share more in the coming months, including new gameplay, enemies, environments, and behind-the-scenes looks at the development of Ghost Yantra.
If you’re discovering the game during Steam Cyberpunk Fest and what you’ve seen resonates with you, we would be incredibly grateful if you added Ghost Yantra to Your Wishlist. It helps more people discover the game and supports our journey as an independent studio.
