Yggdrasil

Yggdrasill is a platforming game set in a fantasy world inspired by Medieval Europe. In this realm, a person can ensure their immortality by extracting some of their blood and injecting it into Yggdrasillic soil, soil was taken from the ground of the great tree Yggdrasill. A flower seedling will then begin to grow and upon blooming, the blood donor will emerge reborn. Due to the rarity of this soil, this is a privilege enjoyed only by the nobility and furthers the existing schism between them and the peasantry. The protagonist is Cordelia, a young girl who is determined to take her parent's seeds to the great tree after her family's plot of soil is destroyed by a revolting faction of peasants. To do so she will have to escape her castle home and venture through the peasant's village to the great tree beyond, testing her principles as well as her courage along the way.
