One day a woman named Mallory arrives at the cemetary with her deceased son. In exchange for putting her son's soul to rest Messorem can finally get eternal rest themselves. To put the son to rest however, Messorem must gather his family for the funeral. The only problem is, the family is spread apart and the roads are filled with the frenzied spirits Messorem have neglected.

Music by SHINE!

The soon-to-be music phenomenon SHINE provides the music with the «Sounds From The Afterlife - Concept Album For Messorem». The norwegian 8-piece delivers an astounding 65+ minutes of live orchestrated music that paints the world of the game with a magical assortment of sounds, genre-variety and instrumentation.

SHINE brings the action and drama to new levels with the two vocal-tracks «The Final Hour» and «Shimmer». From blistering speed-metal to folky J-pop undertones, the band delivers audible spectacle like no first-time Indie game has ever seen (or in this case heard) before.

Fun and cozy ARPG, leaves you wanting more. Also great soundtrack.
A nice (sad) little story Really great music and nice pixel art too, and some decently challenging combat Would recommend for the story and great music
A truly sweet experience !
Neat, short lil game. Some mechanics (like how to regain mana) should have been explained, but were easy enough to figure out on my own. The only real issue was that hitboxes are jank as hell, and it can be hard to tell when something is going to attack. Other then that, good game.

The Heavy is Dead.
This is a fun little game, which takes about a hour to complete. The combat mechanics works pretty well, and the mood throughout the game is pretty cool. Can't wait for more content/games!!
