Programmed in just two weeks to resemble a ZX Spectrum game, this indie game is a blast to play...if you're prepared to dodge stuff.
Oh, and I just noticed that I've had this one sitting around and that this should have been posted almost a year-and-a-half ago. Might as well share it now.
Jean Raymond of the Cathar faith is being chased by the Crusaders as the Cathars are being expelled from the Catholic Church and from the Languedoc region of Southern France.
Go to the right and enter the abbey. There's no turning back after this. At the altar, you'll find a message: "Twelve brothers hid and died here." Hmmmm...
The plaques with the cross act as checkpoints when you touch them. If you get hit by an enemy, you'll return to the last one you touched.
Go upwards and hit the bell, then go right and grab the cross, avoiding the spiders on the way there. "Twelve crosses against the evil," the message says.
Head back to the altar. Part of the floor near the door will open. Go down. Jump over the skeletons to get the cross, then go left. The message here says "Four brothers changed their faith."
Unless you need the heart from getting hit at least once, avoid touching the heart as you go further left.
You'll see a fireball. Avoid it as you go down. The message here says "Jump to death and prove your faith." Go back up and leap into left end of the spike pit below. The spikes are fake, and if you move to the left, you'll get the cross that was near the message.
Go to the left. You'll see an upside-down Catholic cross. You cannot pick this up. Instead, go back to the right and crawl through the narrow passage to the right by holding Down as you move. Avoid the skeletons and their arrows as you collect the cross to the right and turn the Wheel of Faith to turn the upside-down crosses into the collectible ones...and vice versa. You can duck under the arrows if you need to.
Go back to the left to where you found that upside-down cross. It's a Cathar cross now. Go up and you'll find a portal that takes you to another part of the caves. Above you will be a dragon, but you won't be able to get the cross here just yet. Leave the portal alone for now. If you haven't changed the Wheel of Faith back to a Cathar cross, do so now. Then go back and take the set of platforms on the left to go for the switch near the dragon.
Go back to the portal and enter it. Get the cross here, then go up and get the cross there, too. "An invisible path over a wooden bridge," the message says.
Head back to the altar above ground. The door here is opened.
