About TAMASHII
Tamashii is a puzzle‑platformer that draws inspiration from obscure Japanese titles of the late‑80s and early‑90s. Players assume the role of an unnamed soul summoned by an ancient entity to explore a twisted temple and locate a hidden evil source.
The game includes a level‑select hub, time‑trial and score‑attack variations, a slow‑motion option for timing puzzles, full controller support, and an auto‑save system. A flashing‑light warning notes a risk for photosensitive epilepsy.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story premise
The narrative positions the player as an unnamed soul called upon by an ancient entity. The entity asks the soul to discover the evil source concealed within its distorted temple, establishing the central objective.
The setting is described as a dark tale of inner discovery set in a perverted, distorted world. This description provides thematic context for the puzzles without detailing specific plot events.
- Observe visual motifs that reinforce the unsettling atmosphere.
- Consider how the theme might influence the design of individual puzzles.
02 / THE GUIDE
Gameplay modes
A level‑select hub serves as a central point for selecting stages.
Two competitive variations are listed: time‑trial, which emphasizes completing a stage quickly, and score‑attack, which focuses on accumulating points. Both modes alter the objective while using the same level layout.
- Try both modes to see which performance metric suits your style.
- Use the hub to revisit stages that felt challenging in a particular mode.
03 / THE GUIDE
Full controller support
The feature list includes full controller support, indicating that a gamepad can be used for the standard actions required throughout the single‑player experience.
No other input method is specified, so the presence of controller support simply confirms that a controller is an available option; it does not imply exclusivity or guarantee identical behavior across every situation.
- Check that your controller is recognized before starting a level.
- Notice how the controller feels during precise platforming sections.

Auto‑save and hub navigation
An auto‑save feature records progress automatically, automatically recording progress so players do not need to save manually.
The level‑select hub serves as the central point for accessing any unlocked stage, allowing players to pause, resume, or switch stages without losing the automatically saved state.
- Exit to the hub after finishing a stage to confirm the auto‑save has triggered.
- Plan your next attempt from the hub to keep a clear progression path.
05 / THE GUIDE
Slow‑motion mode
A dedicated slow‑motion mode is provided to help players with timing‑sensitive puzzles; activating it reduces game speed, granting extra reaction time for precise platforming.
The option is optional and can be toggled according to individual preference, allowing difficult sections to become more approachable without altering the underlying level design.
- Enable slow‑motion when first encountering a tricky timing segment.
- After mastering a section, try it without slow‑motion to test raw skill.
