Game Play
Level selection
Levels are unlocked in sequence. Only the first level is unlocked at the start of the game.
You begin the first level with a cutscene explaining the game’s premise. Use the E key to skip this part.
After finishing one level, you automatically load the next one.
You can only unlock a level after you’ve played through it.
You can replay any of the levels that you’ve already unlocked.
Objectives
As the soul of a mage, hop from one body to another to escape undetected.
To switch bodies, activate the mind plane.
The physical plane freezes while you’re in the mind plane.
Once you leave a body and switch, the person falls unconscious. You cannot re-possess a body you left.
You can travel anywhere in the mind plane unless blocked by a mind gate but cannot affect anything in the mortal plane.
You must use human bodies to activate items in the mortal plane.
Physical bodies can cross mind gates with ease.
Some individuals will be more capable of surmounting obstacles than others.
Reach the exits while in possession of a physical body to clear each level.
Bodies
The Mage himself
He only appears in the first level.
He cannot jump very high, so your first order of business is to abandon his body.
Guards
Most guards of low rank are capable of jumping and running.
They cannot jump very high and will be trapped if they fall in a ledge they can’t jump back up from.
In most levels, you start with a guard.
Knights
Knights can double jump.
Use knights to get to much higher places with ease.
Thieves
Thieves can use blue walls to climb by jumping repeatedly.
They otherwise cannot jump as high as knights.
Level features
Mind gates
Mind gates appear in the mind plane.
They keep your soul from leaving. You can only get past them through a physical body.
In later levels, some mind gates can move.
Mind gates can be opened through red switches.
Sensors
Sensors unlock a gate or perform an action only when pressure is applied on them.
To keep them activated, make sure that you leave a body while still on it. The unconscious person will keep it activated.
White switches
Touch the white switch to flip it.
When flipped, the switches will unlock the door.
Other times, the switch will also trigger other things like barriers and platforms. Make sure to get past these before they block your way entirely.
Red switches
Red switches turn off soul gates, which will allow you to travel in the mind plane unobstructed.
They are activated the same way as white switches.
Blue walls
Blue walls act as both a means of ascent and a barrier.
Only thieves can climb up blue walls.
Green barriers
Green barriers are activated by white switches.
If the barrier closes and blocks out your path to the door, you fail the level.
Activating a green barrier may sometimes open a path instead of blocking it.
Rising platforms
Rising platforms are activated by the white switches.
These platforms open up new paths for you.
Sometimes you need to get on the platform before it rises too high.
Tips
Move fast. You often need to get into position before a green barrier closes a path or a platform rises too high to jump onto.
Time your jumps with care.
Sometimes, you can get past a mind gate just by leaving your previous physical body mid-jump.
This is often the only way to get past moving mind gates.
Think outside the box. The best person to turn on a switch may not be the closest person available.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like logic puzzle games.
The game has no adult themed content.
