Aragami gameplay10/7/2023 The stealth gameplay revolves around using the dark and shadows to both defeat enemies and progress in stealth. The game's major selling point is it’s gameplay for a game developed by what most would consider is a very small team, the game is incredibly well polished and surprisingly large in it’s scope.
