"Deep within the realm of sleep, Sybil finds herself pulled to a distorted castle. Grow strong, and unlock new abilities to build up a deep movement system, fight enemies, find secrets, and free the weary soul of Castle Sansa, in this retro-inspired 3D Platformer Metroidvania." ~ Official Steam description

==Gameplay==
As a metroidvania, the game is focused on a mix of combat and exploration, leaning slightly towards exploration. The general gameplay loop is finding a new area, discovering a powerup or new ability through exploration, and using that new ability to be able to access even more new areas. Because of the openness and interconnectivity of the map, you'll be discovering new areas and shortcuts to old areas everywhere.
You play as a "goat-bunny-cat thing" named Sybil. You can discover multiple outfits throughout the game for her to wear. There is a wide range of movements Sybil can perform, many of which have to be unlocked as you traverse through the game.
The combat is sword-based and generally close-range, with Sybil's main weapon being the Dream Breaker. The Dream Breaker has a simple 3-hit combo, and the power and range can be upgraded throughout the game. Obtaining the Soul Cutter item will allow you to shoot a high-damage disc in the direction Sybil is facing.
There exists a magic system in the game called "Power". This power level is increased every time Sybil hits an enemy. It is used either for healing with the Dream Breaker, which can be upgraded with the Good Graces aspect, or if a Soul Cutter's disc hits an object or enemy. Both cases deplete 1 level of Sybil's power.
Sybil has three options in order to heal damage taken: holding down [B Button/F Key] while holding the Dream Breaker, hitting a save point, or resting on certain stools (with a "Rest" prompt above them).
Save points fully heal Sybil when hitting them, and can be used to recall the Dream Breaker in case it is lost by holding down the heal button near them.
