STORY

Mr. Bones is a mighty warrior who strikes fear into all who face him. As he laid down to sleep, he is consumed by a terrible nightmare that binds him to a strangely familiar plain. Fight the dark imaginations of Mr. Bones while aiding familiar faces with their needs. Doing so will allow Mr. Bones to re-enter the waking world. Failing to do so will condemn him to sleep for eternity.

ENEMIES

Bad Skeletons: Dark apparitions of those Bones has fought. Moderate health and damage. Equal chance to drop a restorative or shard.

Corrupted: Disfigured entities that haunt Bones of those he's killed. Deal low damage and are weak, but are fast and can chase you down. More likely to drop restoratives.

Brutes: Mighty enemies Bones has felled, still resonating in his mind. High health and damage, but are slow. High chance to drop a shard.

NPCS

Richard: Closest friend to Bones, but was remarkably cowardly. One of the first encounters Bones remembers clear as day. Gives a few essence pots on completing quest.

Mason: The charismatic blacksmith who made Bones' armor and weapon. The precious gems used and the journey to retrieve it is a memory that he fondly remembers. Gives a whetstone buff upon completing quest.

Diana: Bones' fellow companion who shares a similar might to Bones. Her amulet is what he commissioned for her with the help of Richard and Mason and what he was hoping to give to her before falling into this dream. Gives some salt and a flame shard buff upon completing quest.

TIPS

(Section is for some advice on the game. It's a bit challenging but you'll get the hang of it)

BAIT ATTACKS (a swing and a miss)

USE FIREBALLS (especially early game)

DO NPC QUESTS (very useful boosts)

COMBINE INPUTS TO GET OUT OF STICKY SITUATIONS

DO BE AFRAID TO USE POTIONS AND BUFFS (they're there to help)

PICK FIGHTS CAREFULLY (enemies do a lot of damage and can trap you easily)
