The road to the Great Gates: two acts, one loop
Druid, Mist, Shadow: the cloaks that change what you are
Inside the skill tree: Memories, paths and builds
Every enemy is a question
2
You wake in an abandoned camp with nothing: no bow, no cloak, no memory of the accusation that put you there. A small flame chooses to follow you. Everything else has to be earned on the road. This is the shape of Shadowhunter.

You don't collect weapons in Shadowhunter. You learn increasingly ridiculous ways to use one bow, one cloak and the dark. A tour of the kit, from coyote time to the skyfall stab.

One cloak, different callings. Shadowhunter's transformations turn the Hunter into a wolf, a drift of mist, a shadow no enemy can track, or a thing with burning wings. Here is what each one does, and what it costs.

Memories are the only currency, and you cannot farm them. Inside the skill tree that grows the powers you discover, from Riposte to Emberwing.

The rule for the roster is simple. Each enemy asks something the kit must answer, and no threshold repeats the same three questions. A field guide to what is waiting on the road.

Every sprite in Shadowhunter is a real video generation, cut into cells and packed by hand-written tools. The laws that keep a one-person Godot game looking like one drawing.

State of the build on the tenth of September: TestFlight v46, the Oathkeeper, the Practice Grove, and what comes next on the road.
