A downloadable game

You are no longer bound to a mortal plane of existence after the Aether Ritual.

Take your ritual knife and through death, unlock a new a realm, with unlimited opportunities. Possess new hosts, or scare them into passing through Aether Barriers to allow you to hitch a ride after you've passed the toll booth!

Controls:

WASD - Movement

Mouse - Looking around

Space - Enter the Aether - Press again to return

E - > Possess a new host

General Information:

Scare the Priests into running through the Aether Barriers so you possess them after they have passed

Pressure Plates need weight to turn off barriers, I wonder if you could find any dead weight to leave there

Paladins are stronger, they can sense when you enter the Aether. Sneak up on them or rush to possess them, it's your choice
