About This Game

Enter the Forsaken World

Venture into a desolate land where every step of progress must be earned through struggle. At every step of the way, see new beauties, uncover new mysteries, and hone your skill at a uniquely challenging one-of-a-kind experience. Forge your own path through a great maze of caverns, shafts, tunnels, windswept plains, and ruined forests. Journey further forward—as stopping means death, you have no other choice. Find ancient artifacts that carry both powers and memories. Hear the messages of the wall’s master. Defy him, and make your way through its ramparts and towers. Are you ready for what’s at the top? 

Core mechanics

• Your character always follows your cursor

• If your character and cursor touch, you will take damage

• If your character runs into a wall, you will take damage

• The character and cursor share a health pool. If they run out of health, you die

• After dying, you respawn at the start of the current room, only seconds back

• Monsters move throughout the world and will try to hurt you in unique ways

• Typically, monsters damage you by either directly hitting your cursor, or using attacks to hurt your cursor from afar

• Hitting an enemy with your character damages it, and deflects your character backwards

• As you progress, you can learn additional ways to damage monsters

• Killing monsters grants EXP, which can increase things like health, damage, and acceleration
