Description
*Souls-like, Bloodborne style game for the PICO-8. Navigate your way through insanity as you unlock your mind and free yourself.*
Save your mind from the grasp of great insanity. Gather your treasured memories to increase your stamina and keep yourself moving while you expand and unlock your twisted mind.
Discover the 2 different endings...if you can survive your own psyche and make it out alive!
Explore the procedurally-generated maze that changes around you, every minute. Destroy you inner demons, only to see them reborn along with the maze. Luckily the exit, items and treasures stay put...as do your enemies corpses, scarring your soul.
For fans of Rogue-like and Souls-like games, with a fair but challenging difficulty, requiring skill and timing.
--- Tips ---
# Collect all the treasures in a level to level up!
# Dash is invincible, use it!
# Keep an eye on your stamina bar.
# You can only collect up to 9 health potions. Use them wisely.
# You don't always have to kill an enemy.
# Sometimes it can be wise to stay put and see if the maze opens up. Sometimes you can rush through before a gap might close. Take a gamble!
How to Play
Arrows to move. 'z' = O, 'x' = X
Remember to watch your stamina bar - you won't be able to attack or dash if you have not stamina.
X+O = Health
The Maze layout changes every minute, be quick, or be strategic!

Uhh, yeah! Yeah, alright!
One question: what does "levelling up" actually do? I picked up all the money on each floor, but didn't _feel_ like I was getting stronger?
Increases your stamina bar, not your strength - so you can attack and dash more. As you get towards the end of the game, dashing becomes really important. The treasure also has another, hidden purpose.... :-)
