As a spirited leader, your goal is to navigate lost souls like yourself into the light and ascend into heaven.How you go about saving souls, is up to you.In this arcade score attack horror game, you as the player, will start off in a random biome. You must navigate around finding lost souls along the way and guide them towards the light. Whilst finding your way there you'll have to avoid getting spotted and possibly killed from the demons that lurk within Baratrum.The game ends when you've decided to ascend knowing that you're happy with the number of souls you've saved which will then be scored into the global leaderboard.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate this game as a lighthearted, absurdist romp where you gather underwear-clad followers and lead them through portals while scrounging for weapons, finding genuine entertainment in its silly premise and chaotic gameplay despite technical roughness. The main criticisms center on the janky mechanics and poorly designed UI, though most agree the low price point delivers enough goofy fun to justify the purchase and see potential for future expansion.

I got a whole lot of entertainment out of this simple game. The little people yelling 'hey' across limbo in their tighty whiteys was an exceptional choice - it's a touch of playfulness that lightens the mood after frantically shooting and running from a demon!

This game is just good dumb fun. You spawn in the middle of a forest in your underwear and search for others in the forest in their underwear. Your goal is to get as many followers you can into a portal on the map. Where it gets silly is you can find guns on the ground and equip yourself and your followers individually with guns. Gameplay consists of you and this human centipede of dozens of people following you, sometimes armed. There's a whole lot of jank, the UI is awful, but there's easily $4 worth of fun here. The developer could have a lot of fun expanding on this concept.
