Northern Journey (2021)
A norwegian happysad game set in a northern land! Adventure through a beautiful and very varied wilderness. Dive, fly, use ziplines and find different weapons to aid your journey to reach the cold mountains and below. Encounter over 50 unique bosses and enemy types! Very varied. Atmospheric and melancholic. Other times fast-paced fighting. Dark humor and dread! A linear game meant to be finished, without bloat, grind or sidequests. Music is custom made for each level. Each level has its own theme and style, and often unique mechanics. Fast and nimble game. Even older systems can run this game, as it is highly optimized. Game currently only supports keyboard+mouse.

Some blood-effects when monsters are damaged. And a naked witch (a bit cartoony, no genitals visible)
