The story
Oakhaven used to be a quiet village. Then Lord Yamabushi Tengu arrived. His plague raised the villagers as flesh-hungry dead and drove the beasts of the sacred forest mad. The only one left to do anything about it is Eldrin, a wandering magician sworn to the celestial arts.
To lift the curse you'll fight through three places: the village of Oakhaven, the World Tree Roots, and the Forbidden Graveyard. Tengu is waiting at the end.
How it plays
Eldrin fights up close with a staff and at range with magic. Staff combos are free. Spells cost mana, so you'll be switching between the two all the time:
- Magic Bolt costs 10 MP. It's quick and cheap, and you'll use it constantly.
- Celestial Sphere costs 40 MP. Save it for when a fight gets crowded.
You start with 100 HP and 100 MP, one health potion and one ether. Drink them a little before you need them, not after.
There's platforming as well. Hold jump for extra height, and drop through thin platforms when you need to get down in a hurry.
Pick your difficulty
When you create your hero you choose Easy, Medium or Hard. Medium is the one we designed around: fair, but the realm is dangerous. Easy is there if you want the story without the stress. Hard is for anyone who found Medium relaxing.
