Miwa: The Sacred Fox is an 2D adventure platformer game – and it’s now available on GOG with a 15% launch discount until August 15th, 1 PM UTC!

A 2D styled adventure game which takes place in the dark magical Japanese world during Kanaloa festival. Every evening, when the last glimmer of the falling sun fades, night marchers are rising up from the ocean with the sounds of blown conch shell tones and they are marching in a large groups to the tarnished sacred places of Japan. This time they are marching into your tarnished village. The only thing you remember are the screams of dying people and friends. As one of the few survivors, you decides to sanctify yours village again and you are ready to explore the dark deep caverns, ruins of ancient cities and magical landscapes of Japan with a strange sacred fox called Miwa.

Now on GOG!
'You decides to sanctify yours village'? Between that and the screenshot with 'aquaduct', I'm a bit concerned about whether the budget included proofreading.

The game does look pretty, though.

That's shameful.
Clearly, it should've been "aquaduck".

Though there's a weird mix of low-res character art and...not-so-low-res art for most everything else. But maybe that looks better in game/videos than in still images. I honestly don't care enough to find out.

Also: "Sacrifice a 20 souls?"

Yeah, the severe contrast between the heavily pixelated characters and mostly non-pixelated other stuff is weird. If the intent was to make them stand out from the background more, that doesn't really work because of the colors used.
Seeing this absolutely Programmer Art amongst that background makes me doubt the authenticity/artistry of one or the either. You can't just mix styles like that, better known studios and indies have tried and it blew up in their face.

I need to see how the game looks in action, but after just a quick glace at the artwork, I'm loving it. Maybe a tad busy for a game, but as something to hang on a wall, I'm all for it!
