Set sail on a luxury cruise with puzzle action game "Gift" - releasing May 8th

Japanese indie game Gift will set sail on May 8th in just two weeks!
This atmospheric 3D side-scroller is being co-published by Bushiroad Inc. (Cardfight!! Vanguard, BanG Dream!), Toydium and Million Edge. Set on a luxury cruise ship, players will have to escape a sinking ship while getting to know the other passengers and saving them in the process.

“One day I woke up.. and found myself aboard a fancy cruiseliner. But then it started to sink!” Escape the mysterious ship while making sure to save everyone onboard as well!

Sea the Day!
Gift is a side-scrolling adventure game that incorporates the thrill of escaping a ship with the danger of a drastically changing environment. This cruise is rocky to say the least, levels will tilt at a moment’s notice and water levels will rise when you’re not looking. Use a combination of skills and quick thinking to open a path forward. As the waves keep coming, it’s up to you to run away from it all and in some cases, confront the danger head on.

Take on the role of an elderly man who has somehow found himself aboard a cruiseliner. There’s an air of nostalgia as you mingle with the other passengers but it’s not long before a loud noise is heard and everything descends into chaos. Remain calm as you search for everyone else.
