About:
An original Leetdom top-down action-adventure. The valley's route lanterns have gone dark: roads fade, bridges are forgotten and mechanisms stop. Wren, a young route-keeper, sets out from Hearthwick to find her mentor Maudie, who went up the mill path to fix the first lantern and never came back.
Wren's lantern is unusual: held up, it shows traces of what used to be there, from hidden paths and old footprints to switches nobody remembers. Real-time combat with a staff and a roll, twelve companions who follow you and lend their own abilities, six regions, five dungeons with their keepers, side tales, secrets and an ending, plus post-game.
Everything is drawn and synthesised in code. Progress saves in your browser (three slots, with export and import).
