A downloadable game for Windows

In the distorted realms between life and death a cry is heard. The White Envoy embarks to quell the threat with nought but scythe and the usables found on her journey as lifeline.

Face this simple yet enticing experience, master battle against the forces of shadow. Death is your companion, but he is not unfair, learn your way and carve the path to the end. Learn to take advantage of what is  given and heed the words of the birds.

good game, game could use any kind of permanent upgrades though since shop basically only sells single use attacks and those arent too cheap either.
currently I am basially running back and forth between killing an enemy and healing at the save point :-)

Thanks for playing, the design of this game was that battles were just as valuable being avoided compared to actually fighting them. Part of the reason items are so scarce/expensive is to encourage managing of your resources and choosing which battles to engage within.

It was an interesting concept for a game, I'll give it that.

Sorry to say, there's a game breaking bug if you take the left path first. But going right then left should be fine. 

This bug has now been patched. This is a convenience for those who wish to play the game to end without the concern of bugs, it is not valid for the IGMC Entry.
