HOW TO PLAY

Defend your lair from invading humans! Survive the onslaught to win the game.

Defeated enemies can drop souls. Souls are used to cast spells, but can also be absorbed to empower you. Gaze into the Soul Lantern by holding the Spacebar and select a soul using the Left Mouse Button to absorb it.

Absorbed souls are placed on the Soul Queue. The Fortitude of the oldest soul in the queue is damaged by enemy attacks - and once it reaches 0, the soul is destroyed. If an enemy hits you without a soul in the Soul Queue, it’s Game Over.

Click the Left Mouse Button to bonk enemies with your staff. You’re a gangly lich though, so doing so costs some Fortitude - whether you hit anything or not!
