Overview

About this game

You've woken up in limbo, somewhere between heaven and hell. As a spirited leader, your goal is to navigate lost souls like yourself into the light and ascend into heaven.

How you go about saving souls, is up to you.

In this arcade score attack horror game, you as the player, will start off in a random biome. You must navigate around finding lost souls along the way and guide them towards the light. Whilst finding your way there you'll have to avoid getting spotted and possibly killed from the demons that lurk within Baratrum.

The game ends when you've decided to ascend knowing that you're happy with the number of souls you've saved which will then be scored into the global leaderboard. Choosing to gamble your life and end up dying, you'll lose your chance to take claim of the number of souls you've saved and not get your score added to the global leaderboard.

This is a challenging game.

No playthrough is the same as the world is procedurally generated on every run. Enabling an unlimited number of playthroughs and terrifying fun.
