EXORSCAPE

Possessed. Escaping. Running out of soul.

You were possessed by a dark stranger. Now you can use its powers to escape the dungeon! But not for too long, or it will devour your soul.

The Prison

For years I begged for freedom…
Only one thing answered…
This prison did not break me…
Something else did…

The Truth

Hold Space to open your eyes to what the dark wants you to see: hidden paths, traps, and health. Every second of Truth feeds the possession, and draws the restless dead toward you like maggots to a wound. Idle, and the corruption slowly drains. Overdo it, and your soul is gone.

Your torch shrinks as possession rises. See clearly, or stay hidden. You rarely get both.

In the Dark

  • Procedural dungeon floors: stairs up, never the same twice
  • Pixel-art horror lit only by a dying torch
  • Ghosts and rats in the corridors; traps underfoot
  • False exits; Truth reveals what is real
  • Bloodroot poultice and relics that buy you a little more time
  • Two deaths: the body fails… or the soul is devoured

Controls

  • WASD / Arrow keys: Move
  • Space (hold): Reveal the Truth
