Stamina is drained over time and when hit by obstacles; it can be restored and capacity enhanced via jugs of medicine. Use the shield button to briefly hide in the shadows, evading all danger - but be careful; this ability needs to recharge. When exhausted for the day you will return to camp where you may speak with and learn about your companions. Fail to reach the peak and you will be judged on the 8th day. While amassing wealth for a more comfortable afterlife, you may encounter precious artifacts - what ancient powers could they hold?

  • Make your browser full screen before playing the game, and use the back button to return to this page!
  • Spinning blades are very dangerous. Hide in the shadows liberally - you will need it.
  • Use your last moments of consciousness to grab some final handfuls of treasure.
  • The passage to the underworld shifts eternally - can you get a high score?

The game is beatiful the dialog for the characters also very nice, but the levels are a bit... hard? (it might be a skill issue to be fair xD)

It could use some I frames I belive as some of the obstacles I think can hit you 2-3 times at the same time?

Game doesn't fit the screen :( can't play
