Wizard of the Board

It is a shitty time.
The harvests are poor, and monsters roam freely across the land.
Chosen by lot, warriors are trained from birth in the mystic artes.
A warrior must be learned in cunning, strategy, and swiftness for their final lonesome trial when they come of age.
To prevail as a warrior is to scale the Demon's Spire, lair of the Shadow Queen.
Many have entered,  but few have returned.
If one prevails over the trial,
if one succeeds at their task,
they shall be known as a Wizard of the Board.

Wizard of the Board is my submission to the second N64Brew Game Jam. It was made over the course of two months and runs on a retail Nintendo 64. The theme for the game jam was "control". My natural answer to that was first-person voodoo chess.

You can play the game with a Nintendo 64 flashcart. Most emulators should work too, such as Ares or mupen64plus.

The premise of the game involves Zatt, a young warrior-in-training. Zatt aims to scale the Demon's Spire and become a Wizard of the Board. Or, at least he thinks he does.
