Beginning the game at the end of an arduous journey, you have almost reached your home at Castle Austere. With the end of your adventure in sight, you realize you've lost your sigil and boots of flying! Without them, you cannot gain entry to your rightful home, and therefore must collect gems, kill monsters, and avoid stomach-churning falls to recover your sigil and boots from the nearby wandering merchant.

With professionally crafted art assets, the game features platforming, exploration, and adventure elements for you to engage with. You can focus on racing to the castle and buying the sigil and boots, or exterminate each and every monster on the way home, and perhaps even discover the power of the flame sword!

Enemies in the world will patrol their platforms and attack should you get to close. Some spit acid, some prefer a good punch, and some swing axes. You'll need a quick wit and reflexes to vanquish them all and pillage their corpses for their precious gems.

Finally, the gems in the world are mostly acquirable through defeating enemies or platforming. However, to gain all of the gems, you'll want the boots of flying, which will not only allow you access to the broken bridge leading home, but also increase your speed, and jump height, enabling you to reach places previously not available to you.
