This gorgeous pixel art Metroidvania inspired by Moroccan culture has some fascinating lore that's already got me invested

A screenshot from Mira and the Legend of the Djinns.

In games, there aren't many things that I love more than a pretty pixel art style and an intriguing story that'll encourage me to explore everything a title has to offer, and that's exactly what I can see in Little Knight Games' upcoming indie Metroidvania, Mira and the Legend of the Djinns.

The 2D platformer, which is inspired by Moroccan culture and is the indie studio's debut title, stars a daring treasure hunter named Yuba who discovers a sleeping Djinn named Mira whilst searching through the depths of an ancient ruin. Mira has been asleep for 1,000 years, with no memory of why she was sealed there in the first place. In order to help her leave the ruin and rediscover her lost memories, the pair form a sacred bond and set out on an adventure that the synopsis teases will uncover the secret lore behind the game's world.
