Eternal Blade: You Are The Weapon
Sacrifice the wielder to save the blade.
Explore an infinite, procedurally generated dungeon as a sentient sword passed from one wielder to the next. When a wielder falls in battle, another takes their place, and the journey resumes from the entrance of the last dungeon reached.
As the sword, you can drain life from your current wielder to restore your own strength. If the sword itself shatters, you may choose to sacrifice the wielder for a full restoration; however, each run is limited to three wielders each with distinct stats.
It's a bug! It's a feature! Try attacking enemies through walls or ceilings...
