Really neat mechanic! However, the controls felt a little unintuitive and it was a bit too easy to swap into ghost mode and get lost

How does your game fit the theme?
The game is centered around death. The ultimate end. But for the Hero, a new beginning when he is resurrected by Death itself.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code except for the text scripts which were a game maker extension. The art and story were done by my team of 4 that are all credited in the game and the page. The music was commissioned for the project. The composer is also credited.

Yeah, I feel that whole other controls thing. I was going to have that, but I screwed myself over early on in programming and it made it hard to add other control schemes later. I'll definitely learn from that. Thanks for the feedback.
I really like this game, had a blast with it. The boss fight was really advanced with so many different attacks. Great work. Also the way you incorporated the theme is really cool, having to pick up your own body here and there is a great take. My main wish would be to make the grapple primarily shoot up, since that's the main way you use it. I've died a fair bit by accidentally having it shoot to the side than up. I couldn't beat it I got stuck a little after the boss where a wizard flooded a floor with skeletons and I couldn't just up to fight them. Awesome work! Great job.

Oh dang! That'll be lack of testing haha. Thanks for pointing that out. I had an invisible wall that the cultists couldn't pass through, but I must have forgotten one on those steps. Feedback is much appreciated.
