A downloadable game

Welcome to a world’s End

The Overseer, a being who watches over the souls of the land. After gifting life to yet another lost spirit, it sets out into the world. What is his will? What does he wish to change in this land? What does this mean to the spirit and their kin?

To humanity, these spirits are mere demons; monsters set on their destruction. Perhaps this is their will, but perhaps not. Venture forth into this dying world and decide for yourself.

This is a story for you to witness and interpret.
A dark and mysterious adventure
  • Explore a world of winding paths.
  • Encounter the remaining denizens of the land.
  • Face off against grotesque monstrosities.
  • Free the sea of souls.
    • The wilderness is vast with many areas to explore. Keep your eyes open for hidden paths.
    See the remnants of a dying people. Cities, villages and camps left unattended. What stories do they hold?
    But beware of what lurks in the shadows. Face off against monsters born of hubris.

    this looks pretty neet  oO ,  I did notice however that there is no "buy now" or "download - name your own price" link, but just a direct download: did you accidentally forget or do you want to give at away for free on purpose? (I wanted to double check, since it looks like you spent a fair amount of time in making and polishing this game, so it would be a shame if you lose out on that revenue unintendedly )

    Amazing game, beautiful artwork, responsive control, and gameplay that feels good. The level design gets increasingly hard as it should, and the plenty of gimmicks work well together to help you traverse through the landscapes. The soundtrack slaps and I was happy to read into the lore spread throughout the game- it really crafted a neat aesthetics in this... messed up world. Well done!
