Game studio Ember Lab today showed off Kena: Bridge of Spirits, a new game about growth and redemption coming for the PlayStation 5.

The game features a young girl in a lush Japanese setting full of forests and mountains. The graphics are lovely, and it reminded me a bit of the art of Studio Ghibli. The cute part is the little ball-like fuzzy characters with big eyes. Yep, it looks very Japanese, but its designer is an American studio.
