Game Description

This game was developed by two first-time game developers who were inspired by Pirate Software's Thor to create something that they could feel proud of. This game is not entirely complex on the surface, a 2D Platformer with what appear to be simple traps and platforming mechanics. However, the game was created around two central themes: Shadow and Alchemy. Instead of doing something with potions and stealth mechanics, we really gravitated toward the idea that the unnamed protagonist has something going on internally. We don't know what he did, or even really who he is. The lack of knowledge is what makes this character so interesting for us and we hope you find it interesting as well.
