EXEMPLAR is born by mixing two very different genres, specifically Action Platformer and Graphic Adventure.
The Action Platformer part tries to evolve great classics like Super Castlevania IV and Ninja Gaiden, iterating on those to create a fun, linear and fast paced experience, and rejecting the bloating of Metroid-Vania titles to grant a fresh and simple experience.
The Graphic Adventure part is more of a palate cleanser, offering you 20-30 minutes of calm to rest until you're ready to push forward.
