The Price of Immortality: Lost in shadows

You will find yourself in a world where every attempt to move forward, explore the unknown, or even just breathe takes away part of your life. Your health is a currency, and you only have 4096 points. With every step, with every action, the color of this strange world will gradually disappear, giving way to dark shadows.

You will meet a mysterious minotaur - a wise mentor who will offer you knowledge and skills in exchange for your health. He will show you how to survive in this harsh place and sell you the strength necessary to complete the path. But the price will be too high - with each new ability, you lose a part of yourself, and the world around you becomes more and more black and white.

Explore the dark depths of this world, fight for every moment of life and discover what you are willing to do for immortality. But remember: with every step you lose color, and the shadows are getting closer...
