Shadow of the Phantom
You are the Phantom Baron, cursed to roam the Whispering Woods, trapped between worlds. Your greatest fear is that someone will claim the Oracle's Quill, an ancient and powerful artifact that holds the power to write the future.

But at what cost? The Quill is said to drain its user's life force, slowly erasing them from existence as they wield its power.

You must prevent anyone from claiming the Oracle's Quill. As you wander towards your castle, now a mere shadow of its former self, you encounter travelers who seek to exploit its power. Your mission is to drive these intruders away, ensuring that no one can claim the Quill and write their own destiny.

The opening sequence was really well written, and you did a good job establishing a game world. Lots of games of that era did this overworld "map of nodes" and that's nice to see here as well. Fun art, and lots of transitions and presentation. I think sound would take this to the next level. Great work!

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words and feedback.
