You can only have 4 chains active at any given time, wait for it to return to shoot them again. There is no winning condition, survive for as long as you can and prevent souls from escaping.

CONTROLS

>- (WASD) to move on a direction
- (E) to move up
- (Q) to move down
- (Left Mouse Click) to shoot chains

LORE/HISTORY

>Samhain marked the Celtic New Year, the end of summer, and the end of the harvest season. It also signaled the beginning of winter, which they associated with death. On this day, the Celts believed the veil between the living and the dead was especially thin. This allowed spirits of the dead to visit the living.

THEME

> Harvest; catch fleeing entities with your chains to harvest their souls over a short period of time.

KNOWN BUGS

>- Rendering issues on MAC and Linux
- Main menu does not have tooltip for sprinting while holding shift.
- After scene is re-loaded if you win/loose, the mouse will still be locked.
- Sometimes chains aren't accurately shot at the crosshair.
- Enemies might spawn inside walls and escape without you noticing.

DEVELOPER LOG

>I wish I had more time to work on it and fix bugs. I forgot to add a text on the main menu that told you about Sprinting with shift and I also wanted to add a couple more things like enemies that damage you or expanding and spawning more rays but I ran out of time... I will most likely post a devlog video on my YouTube channel in the next couple of days.

thanks for playing!
