Enter the Forsaken World

Venture into a desolate land where every step of progress must be earned through struggle. At every step of the way, see new beauties, uncover new mysteries, and hone your skill at a uniquely challenging one-of-a-kind experience where you must defend your cursor without letting yourself get too close to it. Journey through a great maze of caverns, windswept plains, and ruined forests—as stopping means death, you have no other choice. Find forgotten memories that grant ancient powers. Hear the messages of the Wall's master. Defy him, and make your way through its ramparts and towers. Are you ready for what’s at the top?

Core mechanics

Your character always follows your cursor

If your character and cursor touch, you will take damage

If your character runs into a wall, you will take damage

The character and cursor share a health pool. If they run out of health, you die

After dying, you respawn at the start of the current room, only seconds back

Monsters move throughout the world and will try to hurt you in unique ways

Monsters damage you by either directly hitting your cursor, or using attacks to hurt your cursor from afar (except for [REDACTED])

Hitting an enemy with your character damages it, and deflects your character backwards

As you progress, you can learn additional ways to damage monsters

Killing monsters grants EXP, which can increase things like health, damage, and acceleration

By the Numbers

Over 400 perilous levels, spread out across twelve mechanically and visually unique areas, from a lake infested with a swarm of tenticles, to [REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED], to a shadowy domain filled with spiders—and worse

40+ monsters with unique attack patterns, from giant swords that swing to attack you, to organs of pollution that drown you in clouds of smoke, to friendly hearts that share the gift of love with you (this gift is delivered in the form of a deadly laser)

Possibly a few disappointing ones too
