🏴‍☠️ Story: A Cursed Map, A Fractured Soul

Centuries ago, the fearsome pirate Barbarossa sealed away the Eternity Stone, a relic capable of twisting time and granting immortality. Fearing its power, he locked it inside the Cave of Seven Souls and cursed the only map that leads to it.

Captain Nezar — the last pirate who believes he’s of Barbarossa’s bloodline — finds the map and sails alone to the Isle of Dark Waters, chasing a forgotten legacy.

Inside the cave, a mysterious sorcerer named Mistikus appears. With one spell, Nezar’s soul is split from his body.

One player. Two beings. Opposites in motion.
One truth hidden deep in darkness.

🎮 Gameplay Overview

Genre: Puzzle Platformer
Style: Atmospheric, narrative-driven
Mode: Single-player
Controls: Keyboard & Mouse (movement-focused)
Maps: 7 metaphorical trials based on human flaws

🧠 Core Mechanic: Opposing Dual Movement

You control both forms of Nezar — Soul (Light) and Body (Shadow) — at the same time.

• Movement is done only via WASD keys

• Mouse is used for looking around (menu, intro, or cutscenes)

• R resets the current level

• Soul and Body move in opposite directions

  When one moves forward, the other steps back.
  Progress requires harmony between contradiction.

Your challenge is to coordinate both entities through mirrored paths, hazards, and emotional trials. Split too far, and both are lost.

🗺️ The Seven Trials

Each level tests not only skill, but soul.

1. The Split – Balance
   Learn to move opposites in sync. Open paths by coordinating both halves.

2. Echoes of the Past – Regret
   Navigate a shipwreck filled with Nezar’s memories. Pick the right echoes to proceed.

3. Desert of Greed – Temptation
   Ignore golden illusions. Follow the path that offers nothing.

🔁 Ending & The Loop

The Eternity Stone lies in Nezar’s hands — dim and powerless.
Because the real treasure is never the object. It’s the transformation.

As the sea stretches out, another ship appears in the mist.

“Here we go again…”
