DESCRIPTION
After a fatal car accident, Charlie wakes up. But the world he finds himself in looks strange and unreal. He is now in the "Realm". A world between the world of the living and the afterlife. This is where souls end up who are not yet ready for death due to feelings of remorse. The longer they stay there, the more their minds become corrupted and so they become demons.

Various mechanics / features
RUNE BATTLE SYSTEM
Very simple: You use the mouse to draw a rune that is available in the game, for example a triangle. A matching algorithm recognizes which rune was attempted to be drawn. Based on how accurately the points were hit (three in the case of the triangle), how much damage the rune does is calculated. You stay focused on the enemy with an auto-aim, so you face the enemy no matter which way you move the mouse
The same goes for armor, healing, and movement speed.
CLOSE COMBAT
Of course you can also do without the runes and fight with the scythe itself. This has other advantages such as speed and mobility. There are various scythes you can equip throughout the game.
