Master the four elements, and kill demons. In this short Metroidvania, you play as the Archetype, a legendary elemental master, on a mission to close a portal to hell and end a demon invasion. Learn new abilities, fight demons, and if you fail, be reincarnated with mastery of a different element.
Water, earth, fire, and air. Master the four elements, and kill demons.
A mysterious portal to hell has opened up and plunged the world into chaos. Only the Archetype, master of all four elements and legally distinct from the Avatar, can stop the demon invasion.

Face a variety of demons that challenge you to always be aware of your positioning, keep moving, prioritize enemies efficiently, and use all of the abilities in your arsenal. Master all of the elemental abilities to make quick work of the demon horde.
The world is your oyster. Explore the world of this Metroidvania with little restriction on which direction you decide to explore in. Each ability you learn is a tool, not a key, and there are multiple solutions to every problem.
This game features a permadeath structure where you rotate through the four elements as starting areas, resulting in you learning different abilities first each run. Experience the remaining three areas differently based on the abilities you already have when you get there.
