Every soul leaves a trace. Every shadow tells a story. You are the acclaimed painter Wen Ruyi on your final journey through your past memories. Move through the Library of Limbo, recollecting your life. Collect memory orbs and face your twisted inner demons that are preventing you from moving on. Each orb you collect unlocks your memories and upgrades your combat abilities, granting you the strength to continue forward. Collect yourself, take heart, and step into the great beyond

Controls:

Press Space Bar to move forward when prompted.

Use the ‘I’ key to access the inventory outside of combat to view your collected orbs.

You have four combat abilities:

Attack, Defend, Will Drain, and Heal Self.

Using Will Drain doesn’t require any willpower, the other abilities each cost 10 will to use. Will Drain allows you to restore your willpower by drawing it from your inner will pool.

Every enemy you encounter has the same abilities as you do and shares the same inner will pool as you - so be cautious of the enemy stealing all the willpower!

Graphics are awesome but i'm not a big fan of jrpg like games. It's a game that can be a full non-jam project. Keep it up! Good job

Cool graphics and I liked the gameplay. For some weird reason it reminded me of hacking system in EYE Divine Cybermancy but more enjoyable version of it

Excellent graphics. But I didn't quite understand the battle system, and just kept attacking. XD Maybe given more time, the commbat could also be a scene in the play

I made it to the red boss and just barely lost there! The idea of managing a shared resource pool with the enemy is a cool mechanic, I can see how it could be used for some neat strategic choices. Some of the math felt a bit off though, for example I could still consume 15 will if there was only 5 left in the shared pool. Overall its definitely impressive how much you were able to put together in a weekend, nice job!
