KENA: BRIDGE OF SPIRITS is the debut title from visual effects company turned game developers Ember Lab exclusive to Playstation and PC where you play as Kena a spirit guide who helps the deceased move from the physical world into the afterlife.

A beautiful unparalleled visual feast that feels like you're playing in an animated feature film, but despite being an impressive debut KENA: BRIDGE OF SPIRITS is not without it's limitations.
