Genre: Metroidvania

Description:
A short Metroidvania by Evan20000 released to the PureZC Quest Database in 2016. This quest can be considered a challenge quest for you masochists out there with difficulties often considered to rival Evan's other quest Isle of Rebirth. While this quest is said to be a Metroidvania, I feel it personally gives a more Dark Souls vibe than your typical Metroidvanias. Since I am a Dark Souls fan, this works just fine for me.
The story follows the journal of Sasic, a shade who along with his brother and sister has been adopted by a man named Olsov. Shades are beings who were originally Solots (similar to Hylians or just normal people I would assume). Shades are Solots who have been corrupted by miasma. Though they are corrupted, they retain their very peaceful personality. However, they have the power to heal in the dark, but they also carry the weakness of being completely vulnerable when exposed to sunlight. Since sunlight is threatening to the Shades, it is important for them to keep the world in perpetual darkness at all times.
As the threat of sunlight returns to the land, Sasic must discover what is causing the clouds to begin to part before the shades are all forced to remain living underground for the rest of time.
Much like Isle of Rebirth. This quest is notoriously known for its difficulty and bosses, especially on the Swindle difficulty. However, I'm not exactly sure how the word swindle defines as a "difficulty level", but whatever. Of course, being the masochist that I am, I will be playing this game on Swindle of course. Because what on earth did I ever do to deserve the pain? I don't even know.
Stream & LP Information:
I just recently started streaming this quest. So there are plenty of streams to go. So you'll be just in time to catch the majority of this stream if you tune in to my weekend streams now. That is unless this quest is shorter than I think it is, but I doubt it. I will announce all streams on my main topic page. Of course, all Lets Plays will be shared here.
