Rewind, rethink, redo. Cogen is a brand-new kind of 2D action game where there's no time for death. Any hit you take is a death sentence in this side-scrolling 2D action game. But fear not! You may lack the HP to weather a beating, but you've got the Ouroboros System on your side. This futuristic technology kicks in the instant death embraces you and allows you to rewind up to 3 seconds of time. Slip up and wish you could take it back? Want to play around and experiment? Easy, just rewind the clock! Hone your skills through trial and error, and triumph over diabolical traps and legions of fearsome foes!

Storyline
The perfect weapon to combat instant death. Sword action like you’ve never felt before. Set on Earth in the distant future, take contrl of the heroine Kohaku and unlock the mysteries of Cogen City. Use the Ouroboros System the instant you die. Rewind time, think nothing of failure, and fight on gracefully! Awakening to find herself sprawled on a floor of hard steel, the first thing that greets Kohaku's eyes is a strange talking sword named ExeBreaker.

Both mystery and mayhem await her, but with the power of ExeBreaker's Ouroboros System on her side, nothing will stop her from discovering the truth of what happened to her beloved home.Read more
