About The Infernal Return

Koward struggles to tell Mangostina how he feels, only to be abducted by Black and White Impermanence to satisfy Yama's quotas. Imprisoned in Fengdu, he bargains with the Styx Lord for a route back to life, gathers two companions and investigates an apparent conspiracy behind his death.

Fill the wine well to keep Yama from awakening, search old locations for new secrets and use supernatural abilities such as teleportation, transformation and summoning a motorcycle. Dream messages and the Bank of Heaven and Earth's cross-world delivery obtain help and supplies from people still alive.
