Ghost of Sourima

The Concept

You're a mouse trying to get through a dungeon to reach the cheese. Problem is, you can't make it alone.

Every time you die, a new mouse enters. Your previous attempt becomes a ghost that replays exactly what you did. The more you try, the more ghosts you have helping you.

How It Works

• Run 1: You walk on a pressure plate, then die. Your actions are recorded.
• Run 2: New mouse. Your ghost walks on the pressure plate while you try a different route. You die. Recorded.
• Run 3: Ghost 1 redoes the action. Ghost 2 attack the guard. You slip past and run.

Controls

• WASD / Arrow Keys - Move
• Space - Interact with pressure plates, attack enemies

Features

• Your past runs become the solution
• Up to 30 ghosts working together
• 30 seconds per run
• Different color for each ghost so you can track them

Tips

• Dying is part of the process
• Ghosts can trigger things for you
• Sometimes you need to sacrifice a run to set up the next one
• Timing matters - ghosts replay at exact moments
