1. TITLE

Pending

2. SUMMARY

Dungeon platformer in a medieval setting. Dark atmosphere, similar to Salt and Sanctuary.

3. STORY BRIEF

You are a prisoner for a crime that you don’t remember in a place you don’t recognize.

4. GAMEPLAY

Goal: to escape the dungeon unscathed.

Position: Very important as the sword arc needs to touch the enemy Need to think of hit boxes here Touching the enemy causes damage - less than enemy attacks Power up before boss to give the player sword arcs - range

Items on in each hand Torch - the player can just pick it up to create a halo of light around the character Sword Maybe shield

Enemies: humans or creatures??? 1 - stationary enemy with sword 2 - archer on higher up platforms 3 - tougher enemy with sword, moving BOSS

Controls left/right for directions Space for jump F for attack G for pick up ? for block if we have it
