Struggle

Struggle is an action platformer developed by Chulane Corp. and released in 2021. It shows the journey of a woman known as The Survivor as she fights to escape the strange world she is stuck in.
==Gameplay==
Struggle is a fairly conventional platformer in which the player traverses a variety of worlds filled with obstacles and enemies. Players progress through 5 different areas of a platformer-style world while using a variety of abilities. They are an agile fighter who primarily uses melee attacks and movement based abilities such as double jumping and dashing.
==Plot==
Struggle follows a mysterious woman known as The Survivor, who wakes up in a small town surrounded by a forest, and attempts to escape this strange land. On her journey, The Survivor meets an older woman named Lily, and the two become quick friends. Travelling through the forest, The Survivor manages to escape the forest by proving her resolve against a group of demonic wolves, and ends up in a strange, hellish place.
After fighting her way through a gauntlet of tough platforming challenges, The Survivor is forced to confront a large, flaming demon who is hulking and incredibly dangerous, and can only be beaten by calming down and observing the boss before challenging them. She manages to slay the beast and goes through a door.
The door leads to a casino, where she sees Lily being taken captive, and must try and free her as she fights through the casino, with constant demons offering deals to save her friend, only for them to be lackluster and never work out. Eventually The Survivor confronts the head demon of the casino, who offers her a hell of a bargain - Lily's freedom, in exchange for The Survivor's soul. However, if this bargain is taken something will go wrong every time, and it will prove to be futile, with The Survivor eventualy having to refuse the deal, as tempting as it is, and beat the demon, only for Lily to be taken away.
Past the casino is a gloomy little town, where The Survivor's movement is slowed and everyone is unhappy. It is raining constantly, and the Survivor must jump across platforms made of pills. Eventually they will have to participate in a minigame where they must talk it out with the captured Lily, which rejuvenates them enough to get past their sadness, free Lily and defeat the demon king Despair.
However, instead of escaping, The Survivor ends up in a black and white version of the first forest, and they must make their way through a shortened version of all the game's worlds, but they cannot harm anyone, slowly losing colour as they are hit, and must peacefully get past the game's obstacles, coming to terms with their feelings instead of suppressing them.
Once Despair is beaten for the second time, The Survivor goes through a portal, and the screen cuts to see a younger version of them slumped up in a corner as the artstyle shifts to be more realistic. The girl gets up, and slowly walks through the rain, eventually arriving at what seems to be the funeral. She approaches the coffin, which is zoomed in on to see a blurred photo of a woman, which becomes clear after a second and shows Lily. The girl coughs out one word before sitting down - "Mum"
