Artifact's Escape

You are a sentient, spherical artifact—a cursed relic of immense power forged long ago. Legends speak of your creation as a tool to channel destructive energies capable of tearing the world apart. Awakened by regret and an instinct for survival, you remember little of your origin, only that your powers have brought devastation to those who wielded you. To prevent further calamity, you were sealed away deep within a crumbling crypt, surrounded by traps, puzzles, and wardens sworn to ensure you never escape.

But now, centuries later, the crypt begins to collapse, its ancient seals weakening. Treasure hunters and power-hungry seekers have broken into the depths, seeking to claim you for their own ends. Realizing the danger of being unleashed upon the world once more, you awaken—not to destroy, but to escape. To find freedom and, perhaps, redemption.

This game is a WIP submission for the Pirate Software Game Jam 16, which has the theme "you are the weapon".
