Hellshade
You awaken to find yourself in a realm cloaked in pure darkness. You find yourself immersed in a cramped, damp space with absolutely no visibility. As you explore your surroundings, your hands encounter the coarse texture of the surface beneath you, reminiscent of wood and dirt. Even in the absence of light, the realization hits you like a freight train: you lie within a coffin. Retrieving a lighter from your pocket, you ignite it briefly to confirm your suspicions, swiftly extinguishing it to conserve precious oxygen. With determined yet controlled movements and breaths, you begin to strike the ceiling, hoping the soil above is loose enough to yield. You burst through the lid of the wooden coffin, instantly enveloped by the earth's embrace. Turning your head, you steal a deep breath before digging with all your strength until, at last, you emerge. Gasping for air and letting out a triumphant scream, you revel in newfound freedom, though your surroundings remain obscured in darkness. As you steady yourself and navigate the room, your lighter flickers to life, casting feeble illumination. You can barely see ahead of yourself as the flame shimmies from side to side, yet your invaluable fuel is depleting fast. The ground begins to shake with such intensity that you lose your balance, falling back to the firma you so eagerly left behind. You hear the sounds of absolute horror in the distance. While you scramble for safety, it dawns on you that you have not the slightest idea as to how you came to be in this wretched and foul place. Amidst the chaos, one immutable truth persists: you face a blank canvas of a past, and the circumstances of your arrival in this infernal realm shroud themselves in enigmatic shadows. Nevertheless, amidst the uncertainty, your undeniable reality endures: you are alive. To unearth the truth of your past, you must journey through the ominous depths of this Hellshade, repelling the relentless clutch the darkness has upon you and this world.

Fuck the slime maze
Haha. We understand your frustration. This prototype build is far from our goal with the game, so nearly everything will change in time. We hope you get more enjoyment out of Hellshade when it becomes a proper release! <3
Cool controls! I died quickly to something I couldn't see. Probably just need to make it a little easier to see the enemies.
Great job!
We appreciate your feedback! <3 We believe the issue stems from the hitbox of fireballs and the player-speed. You can run into your fire balls, lol! As for the slimes, they will be changed overtime.
