The version that you find here is the post-jam version in which I fixed a couple of bugs and improved some small things - The original game-jam upload version had a bad bug with the main map which made it almost impossible to beat.

Story

In a time of knights and mystics, an adventurous spirit led you to an ancient, untouched forest graveyard. Whispers of hidden treasures and powerful artifacts echoed through the halls of every inn and tavern, luring you into the depths of the verdant wilderness.

After a daring raid, your pockets were laden with the sacred relics of a forgotten age. The sun began to set, casting ominous shadows across the strange forest landscape, and you decided to wait for your trusty crew, eager to celebrate your victory.

But then, the forest came alive.

You heard an eerie rustling, and saw the trees twist and contort before your eyes. In your final moments of consciousness, you saw the forest transform, as though guided by some unseen force.

When you awoke, everything had changed.

Your familiar surroundings were now an alien wilderness, a shifting labyrinth of wood and shadow. The forest - alive, sentient, and vengeful - refused to let you leave. It twisted and morphed, trapping you within its eerie depths.

In the shifting wilds, you stumbled upon a scrap of ancient parchment. A faint aura of magic hummed from its surface. It was a blank map, a magical canvas that shifted and adapted to the forest's changes. Your only hope now was to use this magical parchment to map the labyrinthine forest.

It became clear, you had angered the spirits of the forest, and the forest demanded retribution. You knew what you had to do - return the stolen treasures to their rightful resting places, quell the forest's wrath, and seek redemption.

The journey ahead was fraught with danger and mystery, but it was the only path to freedom. Unravel the enigma of the forest, harness the power of the map, and navigate your way through the ever-changing Eldritch wilderness in the quest for redemption.
