Gino Inc. has released a Steam Next Fest demo for its upcoming 3D action roguelite, titled Bless You Again. The game’s exact release date is currently unknown.
The demo allows players to explore the Corridor of Guidance, one of the game’s five dungeons. It challenges players to reach the challenging final floor while fighting many enemies as both main playable character Lily, and additional protagonist Yoru. The Steam page describes Bless You Again as follows:
A Tangible “Anime World” – An Adventure Like Watching Your Favorite Series!
Bless You Again is a 3D Action Roguelite that pursues a high-quality “Cel-shaded Anime” aesthetic. One day, a perilous labyrinth appears deep in the forest. Join the magical girl Lily as she steps inside and, together with her spirit companions, embarks on an adventure toward the “Philosopher’s Stone” sleeping deep within.
Water, Fire, Wind, Earth – Ever-changing Combat!
As a battle-mage, Lily must dive into melee combat with her staff to generate mana through physical strikes. Then, unleash high-damage spells by expending that stored energy. Find your flow in the seamless transition between melee combos and magical bombardment!
The four elemental spirits—Water, Fire, Wind, and Earth—stand ready to answer your call. Before entering the dungeon, choose your character from Lily and the four spirits, five in total, and take on the labyrinth with each one’s unique playstyle. (Two characters are available in the demo.)
Which Build Will You Bring This Time?
Collect enhancements known as “Blessings” during your crawl through the labyrinth. These are your lifeline against powerful foes: some stack basic stats to bolster your foundation, while rare, high-tier Blessings possess the unique power to redefine your combat logic! Synergies between different Blessings will gradually evolve into your own unique combat combos.
Will you pursue absolute stat-based dominance, or look for the perfect moment to trigger a comeback when your health is low? Bring your custom build and crush the formidable enemies that stand in your way!
Fall, Grow Stronger, and Reach the Bottom of the Labyrinth!
Your adventure spans five dungeons, each with its own name and its own story sleeping within. The dungeon takes a different shape every time you enter, so the same strategy will never work twice.
As you delve deeper, you will face increasingly powerful enemies and complex battlefields. But falling is not the end. Every run makes Lily stronger, letting you push even deeper on your next attempt. Dive again and again, discover hidden secrets, and face the ultimate test at the bottom of the labyrinth.
What lies at the end of the labyrinth? Only those who reach it will ever know.
