A wicked little
undertaking.

A churchyard. A hothouse. A hall, a frozen mere, and an opera beneath the city.

Thirteen souls have declined to die properly. Cross five strange worlds, chain scythe attacks, and strike every name from the Ledger.

Let an enemy commit, dash through danger, then answer with the scythe.
Own the jump.
Hold for height; release for a shorter hop. Raven Wings and Silk Gloves add new ways to move once acquired.
Make the detour.
Teeth buy upgrades. Shrines provide checkpoints. Seek the named Overdue souls for the fuller ending.
