Spirit Mæs

**PLEASE READ BEFORE PLAYING**

The build we made and intended for the showcase is the downloadable Spirit Maes Original Build.Zip (bottom of this page). 

Unfortunately, we have been told that with some systems, this build is unplayable. Please try this version first, as this is the game as we intended it; however, if the spirit does not move in the tutorial/first level, try these instead:

•  the WebGL version (above)
• download the Spirit Maes Fixed Build.Zip (bottom of this page)

We are greatly sorry for any inconvenience, we did our best to troubleshoot this issue as soon as possible.

--

Sidenote: because we did not intend the game to be made for WebGL (it has specific formatting needs) and because we recreated our movement system to fix the issue, there may be some noticeable unintended effects. Such as:

• sound effects playing too much or not at all
• music not playing in some rooms
• irregular size of buttons

After the main character dies in an accident, the player assumes the role of her soul. The game revolves around two primary mechanics: the possession system and platforming. As souls, players cannot interact directly with the living world, so they must possess the animals within the temple to progress in Mae’s adventure.

Mae, a young, enthusiastic explorer, is going on her first journey to explore an abandoned temple. When she arrives in front of the temple’s gate, she accidentally triggers a trap that closes the temple door on her, eventually killing her. Not accepting her death before her first adventure, she refuses to move on to the afterlife and embarks on her first adventure in the temple in her soul form. She aims to explore the temple and uncover the hidden treasure beneath the temple walls.
