Pale Errant

Pale Errant is a stark monochrome platformer. You are the Errant, fleeing the Root – a shapeless torrent of pale ichor with countless eyes, whose hands claw up the walls. The tower stands in absolute black. There is no salvation, only the climb. Death is the ritual before each new ascent.

The tower offers many paths: gentle but long, or steep and swift. The Root slows as it nears – use that breath. Dash through enemies to turn them to static stone, creating platforms. Or perform an Echo Dash (downward dash onto an enemy) to shatter them, becoming a black silhouette that phases through walls until you land.

Every kill gives points and grows a multiplier, increasing the height you leave behind. But the Root feels each death and grows faster. Choose: pacifist ascent or a slaughter crowned with speed?

Controls are responsive and forgiving. This is an early prototype – rough but growing. Your ideas are the best support. Thanks for playing!
