Shaded One.

Game Idea: 2D non linear Metroid Vania. Think Hollow Knight. Environmental storytelling.

Map: The player arrives through The Olden Pass. There are four great spiers. At the top of each you will face a boss.

Progression: The game revolves around fighting the encumbered souls. Fighting bosses. Getting abilities affecting ones subconscious. Fighting harder bosses. Acquiring better abilities.

End: At the end the player kills The True God. In the Dream Bridge area accentuating abilities. It is hinted that the underworld and overworld merge into chaos etc.

Misc. The Olden Pass shop for equipment. Maps, weapons etc. An underworld secret shop which unfolds as bosses die. A couple NPC's spilling snatches of a sad world. A crow like figure writing down curiosities of The Four Spiers.

Art: Gustave Doré, Death on the Pale Horse, 1865

Theme: The Death Knight.
