“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”

~ Herodotus, Creed of the Postal worker

In this game you play as Gabriel, a lowly courier in the corporate chain, and you’re filling in for Mike who wasn’t able to come in to work. You must navigate through the depths of Hell to deliver Pride her crown in this platformer style game, while fighting the demons trying to block your way through card-based combat. Heed the warning, be sure to not lose yourself to the weight your duty carries upon your soul.

RELEASE NOTES:

We uploaded our submission to the GameOff 2023 jam before the deadline. Unfortunately, we discovered a game-breaking bug several minutes after the deadline passed, forcing us to upload a new build at 4:43 PM EST (6 minutes after deadline). The bug caused the camera to be permanently displaced, causing the rest of the game to be nearly unplayable.

We then proceeded to realise we uploaded the wrong binary with the fix, and have since corrected it to the current build. There is a history of the changes made on our git page, if you require confirmation of these statements.
