Curse of the Shadow is a prototype homebrew platforming game with role-playing elements. It was created as a demonstration for the ByteOff2020 game jam. The story involves a medieval village that's being terrorized by the undead due to being founded over an ancient cursed tomb. It's up to you to save the village by figuring out how to break the curse and defeating the ancient evil that lies within the tomb.
In this run, Cephla skips the majority of the game by exploiting an out-of-bounds glitch, walking through the void until they reach the "The End" screen, beating the game in record time.
You can get the game here.

In this run, LoganTheTASer opts to forgo an out-of-bounds glitch in favor of completing the game normally, albeit with the use of a few other time-saving glitches, doing so in record time.
