The Messenger
A young ninja runs a scroll through a cursed world while a demon army closes in. It starts as a fast 8-bit action platformer with acrobatic, tight controls, then opens into a time-traveling metroidvania with branching paths, hidden levels and a soundtrack made in Famitracker. The writing is genuinely funny, the bosses offbeat, the whole thing a loving nod to the classics.
