Shadow Beast

Made for Pirate Software Game Jam #15

You control an aspiring alchemist, who can use a special potion to temporarily transform into a shadow beast.

When in shadow form, you can not interact with the physical world, but can pass through obstacles like gates and be unharmed by spikes. Be careful though, as you are vulnerable to light sources. 

Change form between shadow and corporeal to solve puzzles, find secrets and navigate the rooms of the Order of Alchemists to obtain the tomes of hidden knowledge to further your studies.
