House Of - Shinobi -pre-release- By Cutepercentage

Unlike many fan projects that simply retell the story of the anime’s protagonist, House of Shinobi appears to be carving out its own niche.

This turns every assassination into a logistical puzzle regarding body disposal. This implies a focus on clan dynamics, household

A neat HUD feature shows a "Sound Cone"—when the cone is wide, you can sprint. When it narrows, you must creep.
