Ancient tales warn of the Yrtemmys Forest that steals the souls of the innocent. You decided to cross the forest as a shortcut home, and your soul became hopelessly lost. It's now up to you to reunite with your soul again, or it'll become a tortured ghoul, trapped in the forest forever!

Instructions

  • Arrow keys or WASD to move your body
  • Your soul mirrors your body, and will move right instead of left and vice versa
  • Your soul can glide over ponds and through living trees, but not trees cut down in the real world 
  • Avoid the monsters in the dream world
  • Reunite your soul with your body!

Really cute! impressed with the art direction and mechanics, though I did find it a bit easy to reunite them. Good concept that explores the jams theme well ^^
