Crimson Mist Mansion

You are Jared. A prominent pupil of the mage guild in the capital, whose objective is to figure out what’s been going on at a mansion outside the capital. You see the grand building, large and majestic. You stand in awe. The ground however seems dark and dead. You think nothing of it and head inside.

Crimson Mist Mansion is an unforgiving 2D platformer. You as the player will find yourself thrown into the middle of a twisted story of a desperate man, told through the scattered notes from his diary that you recover while investigating the mansion. 

The game features a very limited line of sight, fireballs and permadeath, maliciously positioned enemies, hidden rooms and up to four different endings depending on how many pieces of the puzzle you manage to uncover.
