Called from his slumber, play as the Bone Warrior, the ancient protector of Hallowtown. In this mini-Metroidvania, explore the world of Halloween, unlock powerful skills, and battle nightmarish monsters using melee and ranged combat. Cleanse this haunted countryside beset by a sorcerer's dark curse.

Here it is! I hope you enjoy it. Remember, it is an alpha demo. If there are any game-breaking issues, I can be reached via email at jlanderson2021@gmail.com.

If you want to donate, it will go towards a steam release. I may be doing a Kickstarter campaign in November if this gets good reviews.

You can leave me messages here too.
