A dark and original Sega action platformer, with four elemental arts and a cursed hero. Very demanding, genuinely unique, well worth seeking out.

Cursed with immortality, the Forever Man roams a gothic world where every creature hits hard and the loosely signposted progression bewilders as much as it tests. Demanding combat, treacherous platforms and managing alchemical potions call for rigor and perseverance. Austere and hard to tame, it charms with its atmosphere and rewards those willing to crack its logic.
