A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

No steel bears harm to these monsters.

But with the power of many, humans may pass.
Those that fall dead in Valorpath rise as spirits, waiting for new warriors to fight the infestation. Only they can harm the foul beasts.
But still, the spirits are fragile without protection of the living. Protect their undeath, even at the cost of your own life...

Too hard? Easier version has a big change on one mechanic that makes the game actually completable (download below)

Made for the Wowie Jam of 2021! Woohoo!

WASD or Arrows = Move
Shift or E or Right-click = Dash
(gives invincibility, dash into ghosts to give them invincibility too)

I think the easier mode exe is kind of the wrong direction.

the problem wasn't that the combat was too hard, the game was awesome partially because the combat was hard

the problem was if you failed a fight, you lost  your ghosts and had to spend a while pointlessly dying before trying again.

that problem still exists, and the combat doesn't feel quite as intense because the i frames last so long now (though a bit longer than before makes sense)
