Story
If you miss it at the start.
In an age long forgotten, beneath a shroud of creeping stagnation, the world faded into gray. Yet, within a shard of hardened amber, a flicker of pure, ancient mana remained—preserved against the relentless march of time.
But eternity is a fragile illusion. A corrupted beast pierced the sacred resin, shattering the seal. From the golden void spilled the essence of a bygone queen, awakening a vessel born of desperate allegiance.
Now, as the amber corruption festers and time itself bleeds away faster with every wound, the vessel must endure. Can she survive the starved horrors of a world suffocating in its own amber?

The has really tight controls, great game!
I died :3
Neat little game! I really enjoy the main character's design, and the rest of the pixel art looks good as well. It's a shame that a health indicator didn't make it in, since taking damage is so central to the main concept; but it was a cool concept nonetheless!
Yes, I know, but I did that intentionally to maintain constant pressure haha. Glad you appreciate it! You have the assets pack for free if you want ;)
