Hermit Castle

Play as a hermit crab as you explore the remains of a forgotten underwater palace.  Equip different shells to overcome various trials and avoid dangerous creatures.  Find the ghost of each of the forgotten souls to break the castle of its curse and set its forgotten souls free.

Made for the PIGSquad 2021 "Exploration" Summer Slow Jam with the theme of "Forgotten Places."
