MOUSE SOULS ! This small gem made by a single developer is a beautiful ode to the much more well known title, DARK SOULS - yet it stands on its own right ! Charming 2D top-down design, beautiful music... Don't let the "cute aesthetic" fool you, this game is rather tough (sometimes brutally so)! Good on you, mister Daniel Wright :) PS (minor gripes) : - on occasion, the startup animations are harder to read than you'd expect - at the time of writing, achievements were never implemented - this game does NOT use Steam Cloud for its saves :(

is a little jank but I really enjoyed it for a 5 dollar indie game. I can't recommend a controller enough though. Don't buy this game for kb/m if you only have a ps controller consider ds4windows because this game only accepts xbox controllers

This game taught me how to beat the mice that are in my walls. :)

This is a fun little Souls Like. The mechanic of the "ghosts" following you into combat is cool. I had some technical issues (e.g., crashes a minor list progress) a few times across my playthrough, so be aware of this potential issue.
