Inumbra

Your ancient task is to guide lost souls through the limbo of Inumbra, leading them to the source of all life, to their reincarnation. This sacred duty was entrusted to you by an ancient deity, a colossal tree that governs the balance of all living things. You are its chosen champion, carrying its will in this fragile yet crucial part of the universe. During your journey, you will face trials set by the deity to prove your worthiness to continue this mission. Uncover your origins, fulfill the will of the great Tree and its guardians, and learn the stories of the lost souls you help guide home. But beware, the limbo is also home to chaotic beings that threaten your path. As the chosen herald of this deity, you are granted the power to transform into a shadow, allowing you to explore and move swiftly across any surface in this world. But beware, this power can be stripped from you at any time to prove your strength. Powerful sources of light will weaken your abilities and prevent you from becoming a shadow upon contact, so avoid the light at all costs. However, moonlight does not diminish you; instead, your skin absorbs its energy, enabling you to use your powers even in places without shadows. Empowered by this ancient gift, you’ll feel the urge to explore every corner of this world, moving freely to uncover souls to collect, hidden areas, and secrets that will help you understand the mysterious environment around you. Simple yet layered, engage in swift, fluid combat where enemies require different strategies. Use clever tactics, attack from below in your shadow form, slam foes against walls, or crush the ground nearby to stun and break their defenses. Adapt your moves and turn the tide of battle in your favor! Unlock and enhance abilities that grant passage through paths once sealed. Return to familiar lands with new powers to uncover hidden routes, discover collectibles, and gain abilities that help you advance the story. Are you ready to step into the shadows of Inumbra?
