The Bone Warrior's Oath
Called from his slumber, play as the Bone Warrior, the ancient protector of Hallowtown. In this mini-Metroidvania, explore the world of Halloween, unlock powerful skills, and battle nightmarish monsters using melee and ranged combat.
A small world, densely packed
The Bone Warrior's Oath is deliberately compact: a single sitting of roughly twenty-five to thirty minutes that behaves like a full Metroidvania in miniature. The graveyard, the mausoleum and the town interconnect, and the routes between them open as your abilities do.
It is presented through a CRT filter by default: scanlines, bloom and a curved edge, all of which can be switched off if you would rather see the raw pixels.
Combat and traversal
You fight with a sword up close and a bow at range, dodge through attacks, and drink what you have managed to carry. Arrows are a resource, and you pick them back up off the ground after a fight.
Ability pickups gate the map in the traditional way. The Shadewing Talisman grants a double jump on ghostly wings, and the world opens accordingly.
Features
- Melee and ranged combat: sword, bow, dodge, and recoverable arrows.
- Skill unlocks that open the map: including the Shadewing Talisman's double jump.
- An interconnected world: graveyard, mausoleum and town linked by a world map.
- Inventory and consumables: keys, potions and quick-use items.
- Toggleable minimap and CRT filter: plus full-screen support.
- Roughly 25–30 minutes: per run of the current alpha demo.
