The Esrever Dungeon

Normally, you're the player. Today, you're the janitor.

After a player finishes a game and arrives at the end screen, the game resets – but how? In The Esrever Dungeon, you play as a janitor cleaning up after the hero who slayed ogres in order to escape the dungeon. You must work backwards by pulling the arrows out of corpses, removing any swords stuck in the ogre's bodies, placing hearts back in their chests, and reverting the game back to its original state in order to prepare for the next hero... because there's always another hero.

Controls

WASD or Arrow keys for movement
Space to use your sword
e to pull your arrows
f to place your arrows in the wall
r to close the chest
