MASTERLESS

MASTERLESS

You are the sword. Seize a body. Change the fight.
No master. Only vessels.

A short, top-down action prototype about possessing your enemies. You are a living, cursed sword: take over the creatures of a moonlit forest, turn their strength against them, and fight your way to the broken-moon shrine.

Play free in your browser: click Run game above, then START. Use a desktop keyboard and mouse. Fullscreen is recommended.

Four bodies. Four ways to fight.

• Thorn Hare: chain quick strikes.
• Bell Beetle: parry incoming attacks.
• Root Bear: crush enemies with heavy strikes.
• Lantern Moth: ignite the battlefield.

Find an opening, seize your next vessel, and keep moving. The body you leave behind will fight you again.

Early prototype

This build focuses on combat and possession. There is no long-term progression or mid-run save. Settings and tutorial completion are saved locally.

Which vessel would you possess again? Tell me in the comments, along with any moment where you lost track of the fight. Follow for future updates. Thanks for playing.
