Gameplay Summary:
When the light inside you awakens, you find yourself in a dark abyss, surrounded by untended graves. Explore the narrow halls of the damp caves to reveal large underground labyrinths, all lined with mysterious specks of white light. Upon contact, take said motes into yourself to bolster your pale, white flame. Inhabiting the sprawling labyrinths are peculiar creatures, such as the skeletal Pot-Heads, shadowy Black Motes, and the radiantly-glowing Gazer, another creature which possesses the ability to draw power from motes. Make contact with friendly characters, such as Jari the Cat, and the mysterious Sculptor, and exchange items collected during your adventure for incremental improvements to your Vessel. Use the resources available to you to defeat the dark presence looming over the Abyss, and escape the dark underground, for even greater challenges await you on the surface...
