The Game
Between life and the void
Project Spiritless is a hand-crafted 2.5D platformer built in Unreal Engine 5 — pixel-art souls animated in Paper ZD, set loose inside a fully realised 3D world.
Traverse a haunted forest caught between life and the void. Leap light-borne platforms, outrun the ghouls that stalk the treeline, and speak with the few souls still willing to talk — piecing together a story told through ruins, relics and the lanterns left burning.
“That foul beast doth stir from the shadows far beyond the deep cave — and the very woods do tremble at its presence.”
What it is
Built with obsessive care
Hand-painted 2.5D
Pixel-art souls animated in Paper ZD, lit in real time inside an Unreal Engine 5 world — every leaf, lantern and fog bank rendered around them.
Momentum traversal
Dash, leap and glide across crumbling ruins and light-borne platforms. Master the flow to reach the paths most players never find.
A haunted forest
Ghouls with burning eyes haunt the treeline while lantern sentinels keep their endless vigil. The woods remember what walked them.
Story in the world
No exposition dumps. A tale told through environments, relics and the rare soul still willing to speak with you.
