You are a knight who is going to descend deep into the dungeons to claim a treasure. People saying everyone who went inside has gone insane and never came back. But you are not like them. You will find your way. Won't you?
This game is a 15 puzzle where instead of numbers you need to create a way from top to bottom of the map. Every move you do drains your sanity, so the fewer moves you do the deeper you go. How deep will you descend?
Control the tile with arrow keys on it with, well, arrow keys. It will swap places with the tile in the arrow direction. You need to arrange tiles so, that the knight can enter the dungeon and reach the stairs in the bottom right corner. Be sure, the knight will tell you when they see the path.
Every 3 moves your sanity is drained. Once you reach 0 sanity you go insane and can't continue your journey: the game is over.

This is my first time attending the compo. I am not familiar with Unity at all, and it was my first time creating a pixel art graphics (or any graphics at all). Learning took its toll and I was not able to even add the music and sounds, unfortunately. Hope the game is not too frustrating! HF :)
